A Scalable Live Streaming Media Distribution Service for Peer-to- Peer Network

Live streaming media distribution in a large scale P2P network and the impact on the real- time caused by the dynamicity of peers are still not well resolved. In order to address this problem, a scalable live streaming media distribution service in P2P network is presented. Our approach is that the P2P network combining tree with clusters is designed, and some super-peers are reserved in all clusters. In addition, we adopt the maximum accepted connection number of each super-peer and its average disposing delay to select the optimal father peer, and the limitation of packet discard between super-peers is given. The experiment results show that the distribution service assures the improvement of real-time and scalability in the large-scale P2P network.
