Abtract: With the rapid growth of multimedia applications and the Internet, streaming
video over the Internet is becoming more and more attractive to users especially live
video streaming. Many application-layer multicast pro-tocols have been proposed
recently for this demand and each method has different advantages. However, these
current methods do not solve effectively peer to peer (P2P) live video streaming's
problems. These problems are the randomly churn of nodes and long buering time since
the variance between the arrival times of data of different sub-streams is large. They also
do not address the problem of free-riding nodes. This thesis presents our low-delay pushpull based application layer mul-ticast for live video streaming on P2P networks. The
main goal of ourwork is to optimize content delivery on P2P networks to guarantee the
time constraints of live video streaming. We achieve this goal by constructing multiple
balanced sub-trees for pushing data and optimizing pulling connec- tions between nodes
in different sub-trees to reduce the time gap between arrival times of pushing data and
pulling data. As a result, our mechanism can reduce buering time at each node. Our
mechanism also includes atit-for-tat method to promote node contribution. In order to
evaluate our method's performance, we also build a simulation program in SMPL scheduler. We also compare our method's performance with other methods. The simulation
result demonstrated the efectiveness of our method.
