Abstract

Our concern in this paper is the real-time streaming of IP packet video. We consider the scenario where we have multiple senders that stream the same video to single receiver over Peer-to-Peer networks. We propose an adaptive scheme for video streaming over P2P network that encompasses an efficient mechanism for the selection and the maintenance of sender peers nodes. Furthermore, we perform active measurements of links between the receiver and stream senders in order to optimize the overall video quality. Finally, the evaluation conducted over ns2 simulations shows that our solution allows to efficiently utilize available network bandwidth of sending peers and allow maximizing streaming qualities at the reception peer.
