An Initial Peer Configuration Algorithm For Multi-Streaming Peer-To-Peer Networks

Abstract

The growth of the Internet technology enables us to use network applications for streaming audio and video.Especially, technology are currently emerging.An important issue on P2P streaming is how to construct a logical network (overlay network) on a physical network (IP network). In this paper, we propose an initial peer configuration algorithm for a multi-streaming peer-to-peer network. The proposed algorithm is based on a mesh-pull approach where any node has multiple parent and child nodes as neighboring nodes, and content transmitted between these neighboring nodes depends on their parent-child relationships. Our simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithm improves the number of joining node and traffic load.
