BitTorrent is undoubtedly the most popular P2P file sharing application on today's Internet. The widespread popularity of BitTorrent has attracted a great deal of attention from networking researchers who conducted various performance…
The growing online traffic that is bringing the infrastructure to its limits induces an urgent demand for an efficient content delivery model. Capitalizing social networks and using advanced delivery networks potentially can help to solve…
With the success of P2P file sharing, new emerging P2P applications arise on the Internet for streaming content like voice (VoIP) or live video (IPTV). Nowadays, there are lots of works measuring P2P file sharing or P2P telephony systems,…
In this paper, we analyze a round-based pricing scheme that encourages favorable behavior from users of real-time P2P applications like P2PTV. In the design of pricing schemes, we consider price to be a function of usage and capacity of…
Simulators are the most dominant and eminent tool for analyzing and investigating different type of networks. The simulations can be executed with less cost as compared to large scale experiment as less computational resources are required…
The combination of video streaming services and wireless networks plays an important role in many fields. In this paper, we present an NS-3-based simulation platform for evaluating and optimizing the performance of the video streaming…
The main objective of this article is to provide an overview of P2P based Video-on-Demand and live streaming services. The article starts with an introduction to media streaming and its simplified architecture. Various solutions offering…
This paper is a short summary of the main results in the thesis [1]. Based on the P2P paradigm we construct a stochastic model for a live media streaming content delivery network. Starting from the behavior of the out degree process of each…
In recent years, there are some major changes in the way content is being distributed over the network. The content distribution techniques have recently started to embrace peer-to-peer (P2P) systems as an alternative to the traditional…
Over the last years many technological advances were introduced in Internet television to meet user needs and expectations. However due to an overwhelming bandwidth requirements traditional IP-based television service based on simple…
Peer-to-peer swarming protocols have been proven to be very efficient for content replication over Internet. This fact has certainly motivated proposals to adapt these protocols to meet the requirements of on-demand streaming system. The…
We introduce a model for decentralized networks with collaborating peers. The model is based on the stable matching theory which is applied to systems with a global ranking utility function. We consider the dynamics of peers searching for…
The BitTorrent mechanism effectively spreads file fragments by copying the rarest fragments first. We propose to apply a mathematical model for the diffusion of fragments on a P2P in order to take into account both the effects of peer…
Recent years mesh-based Peer-to-Peer live streaming has become a promising way for service providers to offer high-quality live video streaming service to Internet users. In this paper, we make a detailed study on modeling and performance…
Peer-to-peer networks consist of thousands or millions of nodes that might join and leave arbitrarily. The evaluation of new protocols in real environments is many times practically impossible, especially at design and testing stages. The…
Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks such as BitTorrent and Avalanche are increasingly used for disseminating potentially large files from a server to many end users via the Internet. The key idea is to divide the file into many…
This work presents a study of the behaviour of the router buffer when managing the traffic of P2P-TV applications, where a number of peers exchange video content. First, a summary of the characteristics of SOPCast is presented. Then, the…
This paper presents a novel algorithm for peer-to-peer (P2P) live streaming that addresses the limitations of single-layer systems through a multi-layered approach. The proposed solution adapts to diverse user capabilities and bandwidth…
A substantial amount of work has recently gone into localizing BitTorrent traffic within an ISP in order to avoid excessive and often times unnecessary transit costs. Several architectures and systems have been proposed and the initial…
The paper has two objectives. The first is to study rigorously the transient behavior of some P2P networks whenever information is replicated and disseminated according to epidemic-like dynamics. The second is to use the insight gained from…
