Abstract :
We review the Stanford peer-to-peer multicast (SPPM) protocol for live video streaming and report recent extensions. SPPM has been designed for low latency and robust transmission of live media by organizing peers within multiple complementary trees. The recent extensions to live streaming are time-shifted streaming, interactive region-of-interest (IRoI) streaming, and streaming to mobile devices. With time-shifting, users can choose an arbitrary beginning point for watching a stream, whereas IRoI streaming allows users to select an arbitrary region to watch within a high-spatial-resolution scene. We extend the live streaming to mobile devices by addressing challenges due to heterogeneous displays, connection speeds, and decoding capabilities.
