Centralized networks inevitably exhibit single points of failure that malicious actors regularly
target. Decentralized networks are more resilient if numerous participants contribute to the …

In terms of scalability, cost and ease of deployment, the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approach has
emerged as a promising solution for video streaming applications. Its architecture enables …

Several peer-to-peer systems for live streaming have been recently deployed (eg
CoolStreaming, PPLive, SopCast). These all rely on distributed, epidemic-style …

Although there are several successful commercial deployments of live P2P streaming
systems, the current designs 1) lack incentives for users to contribute bandwidth resources …

Once deployed, a decentralized blockchain system ensures that it will operate faithfully so
that no one can interfere with or manipulate its predefined regulations, such as block size …

Peer-to-peer live streaming systems allow a bandwidth-constrained source to broadcast a
video feed to a large number of users. In addition, a design with high link utilization can …

We consider the design of an open P2P live-video streaming system. When designing a live
video system that is both open and P2P, the system must include mechanisms that …

Live video streaming applications have gained great popularity among users but exert great
