Abstract :
PeerCast is a classical software of P2P streaming media. In this paper, an NS2-based PeerCast network simulation system was constructed for simulating the PeerCast protocol. Then we found two shortcomings of the PeerCast and proposed a multipath transmission algorithm based on depth balancing. The results of our simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm substantially improved the performance of the network and significantly shorten the average delay time and connection times of nodes.
