Abstract
P2P content distribution networks are collecting interest to efficiently deliver rich contents such as audio and video. Stream interruption caused by relay peers dropping out of the P2P network is a problem in P2P live streaming systems. In this paper, we propose a P2P live streaming system with low stream interruption. In the proposed system, peers are connected to the peers with low drop-out probability and a wide and short P2P network is constructed. Also, multiple paths to the source is considered. We show the improvement in the interruption time by our algorithm through simulations.
