A robust real-time video communication service over the Internet in a distributed manner is
an important challenge, as it influences not only the current Internet structure but also the …

Two of the fundamental problems in peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming are as follows: what is the
maximum streaming rate that can be sustained for all receivers, and what peering algorithms …

We study the problem of maximizing the broadcast rate in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems under
node degree bounds, ie, the number of neighbors a node can simultaneously connect to is …

This paper presents a systematic performance analysis of pull P2P video streaming systems
for live applications, providing guidelines for the design of the overlay topology and the …

Peer to Peer streaming (P2P-TV) applications have recently emerged as cheap and efficient
solutions to provide real time streaming services over the Internet. For the sake of simplicity …

Quantified Propositional Temporal Logic (QPTL) is a linear temporal logic that allows
quantification over propositional variables. In the usual semantics for QPTL, a model is an …

Peer-to-peer live-streaming (P2P-TV) systems' goal is disseminating real-time video content
using peer-to-peer technology. Their performance is driven by the overlay topology, ie, the …

P2P video streaming is receiving enormous attention, and when video is involved, the
efficient use of the network becomes a very important issue, specially if live applications are …

Abstract Wireless Community Networks (WCNs) are bottom-up broadband networks
empowering people with their on-line communication means. Too often, however, services …

P2P-TV systems performance are driven by the overlay topology that peers form. Several
proposals have been made in the past to optimize it, yet little experimental studies have …
