Centralized video on demand (VoID) systems offer limited content and limited archival
ability. Peer-to-peer networks allow users to share a wide selection of content directly …

Live peer to peer (P2P) media streaming faces many challenges such as peer unreliability
and bandwidth heterogeneity. To effectively address these challenges, general" mesh" …

Unstructured, chunk-based P2P streaming (TV and Video) systems are becoming popular
and are subject of intense research. Chunk and peer selection strategies (or scheduling) are …

The ever increasing number of Internet-connected end-hosts calls for high-performance end-
to-end networks, which in turn leads to an increase in the energy consumed by the networks …

Many Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications such as media broadcasting and content distribution
require a high performance overlay structure in order to deliver satis-fying quality of service …

Media streaming in mobile environments is becoming more and more important with the
proliferation of 3G technologies and the popularity of online media services such as news …

To eliminate packet loss accumulation and overcome bursty packet loss problems caused
by peer departures in peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming systems, a multisource structure …

Abstract Peer-to-peer (P2P) based networks have several desirable features for content
distribution, such as low costs, scalability, and fault tolerance. However, they fail to provide …

We present optimal schemes for allocating bits of fine-grained scalable video sequences
among multiple senders streaming to a single receiver. This allocation problem is critical in …

P2P networks have been proposed as a scalable, inexpensive solution to the problem of
distributing multimedia content over the Internet. Since real P2P systems exhibit …
