Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming has emerged as a scalable method for media distribution in recent years. While recent measurement studies have shown the effectiveness of P2P network in media streaming, there have been questions raised about the Quality of Service (QoS), reliability of streaming services and sub optimal uplink utilization in particular. We present a new model for P2P media streaming where nodes cluster into groups, called alliances, for a symbiotic association in order to share the media content. We show that alliance formation is an effective way to organize the peers in loosely coupled groups. The node topology formed using alliances generates a Small World Network, which exhibit efficient overlay structures in terms of path lengths between the nodes and robustness to network perturbations like churn. We present a comparative performance evaluation of our model with CoolStreaming/DONet on QoS metrics. © 2007 ACM.
