Abstract

Peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming supports distributed data transfer over Internet. It claims high resource utilization and better streaming performance. In this paper, we define mesh-cast concept to model "many-to-many" streaming in P2P networks. The main origin of network congestion in mesh-cast is the articulation point/edge in inferred network topology. We resolve the congestion using the peripheral articulation node. We provide two possible approaches, optimistic and pessimistic, to solve network congestion in mesh-cast, both of which use a novel P2P structure, G-Super-Peer backbone.
