On the Performance of Multiple-Tree-Based Peer-to-Peer Live Streaming
György Dán, Viktória Fodor, Ilias Chatzidrossos · 2007
In this paper we propose and analyze a generalized multiple-tree-based overlay architecture for peer-to-peer live streaming that employs multipath transmission and forward error correction. We give mathematical models to describe the stability properties of the overlay and evaluate the error recovery in the presence of node dynamics and packet losses. We show how the stability of the overlay improves with the proper allocation of the outgoing bandwidths of the peers among the trees without compromising its error correcting capability.
