Abstract

Whether the server entity is centralized or distributed over a set of delegates (caches/proxies), the client/server paradigm for media streaming services stresses the server to the limit by having it serving each and every client in the system. Such a paradigm dictates an enormous---and likely unattainable---investment in deploying numerous caches/proxies in order to provide media services to large Internet-scale customers. We envision a cooperative peer-to-peer paradigm as a potential solution for such a fundamental problem. We propose a novel peer-to-peer media distribution model that scales well to a large number of clients with a modest overall system cost. We describe the advantages as well as the challenges facing the proposed model. We present the details of the model including: how the overall system is initially formed, how the system evolves as more peers join, and how peers help each other to provide the streaming service. We evaluate various aspects of the proposed model through an extensive simulation study.
