Abstract

Peer2View is a commercial peer-to-peer live video streaming (P2PLS) system. The novelty of Peer2View is threefold: i) It is the first P2PLS platform to support HTTP as transport protocol for live content, ii) The system supports both single and multi-bitrate streaming modes of operation, and iii) It makes use of an application-layer dynamic congestion control to manage priorities of transfers. Peer2View goals are to achieve substantial savings towards the source of the stream while providing the same quality of user experience of a CDN.
