Unlike those on Internet, the media providers on P2P networks are ordinary nodes whose contribution bandwidth is limited. Multi-sender methods are the best solutions known to video streaming on P2P networks. In this paper, we propose use of a multi-cast method on the top of an arbitrary multi-sender method so that all requesting peers receive almost the same expected bit-rate. That is while the existing multi-sender methods maximize the bit-rate delivered to the first receiver and cannot provide acceptable bit-rates to the next requesting nodes
