Locality- and quality-awareness for P2PTV systems based on Scalable Video Coding (SVC)
Piotr Wydrych, Piotr Chołda · 2015
In this paper, an innovative and adaptive BitTorrent-based peer-to-peer television (P2PTV) system is proposed and investigated. It is shown how end-users of such systems and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may benefit from simultaneous usage of both (a) the recently standardized ALTO Protocol, and (b) Scalable Video Coding (SVC). The system description is followed by a thorough evaluation of the results gathered during the simulation experiments.
