CONGESTION CONTROL FOR P2P LIVE STREAMING

Abstract

<p>In recent years, research efforts tried to exploit peer-to-peer (P2P) systems in order to provide LiveStreaming (LS) and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services. Most of these research efforts focus on the development of distributed P2P block schedulers for content exchange among the participating peers andon the characteristics of the overlay graph (P2P overlay) that interconnects the set of these peers. Currently, researchers try to combine peer-to-peer systems with cloud infrastructures. They developed monitoring and control architectures that use resources from the cloud in order to enhance QoS and achieve an attractive trade-off between stability and low cost operation.</p>
