Structuring cooperation for hybrid peer-to-peer streaming

Abstract

In the previous chapter, using colluder social networks in multimedia fingerprinting as an example, we showed that the network structure can affect misbehavior detection and and the overall system performance. In this chapter, we investigate the impact of network structure on the optimal cooperation strategies in hybrid P2P streaming networks, in which some users with very high interconnection bandwidth act jointly as one user to interact with the rest of the peers.
