Abstract

We proposes a hybrid architecture MTreeTV which combines the use of P2P networks with dedicated streaming servers, and was proposed to build on the advantages of both P2P and CDN paradigms. MTreeTV uses a novel locality-aware overlay construction and scheduling algorithm to assure the effectiveness of P2P overlay. We also study the placement of the servers with constraints on the client to server paths and evaluate the effect of the server parameters. Through analysis and simulation, we show that MTreeTV supports fast channel switching (<4s).
