On-demand mobile peer-to-peer Streaming over the JXTA Overlay
Sebastien Venot, Lu Yan · 2007
In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) media streaming has generated many interests both in industry and research communities. P2P is an effective way to spread media data to a large amount of viewers and enables the successful deployment of next-generation internet services such as Video On Demand (VOD), IPTV, video conference and surveillance. As the Internet becomes more and more wireless and mobile, P2P terminals are nowadays evolving into a mixture of both stationary and mobile entities. Mobile phones have less computing power, memory and supported media formats than personal computers. Hence, when deploying large scale P2P streaming overlay, it is important to address such heterogeneity. This paper presents a possible path to mobile P2P media streaming via the implementation of an on-demand P2P streaming system built on the top of the JXTA overlay.
