With our strong connection to research, Hive Streaming is all about sharing useful insights within tech-innovation. We think it’s important to distribute our own content – as well as others. Therefore, we’d like to share a whitepaper with you, discussing Peer2View – a commercial P2P Live Stream system.

This whitepaper is published on Research Gate and the authors are Roberto Roverso, Sameh El-Ansary, and Seif Haridi.

It’s an interesting read for all tech-enthusiasts interested in deep-diving into the topic of P2P Streaming.

Go to Peer2View: A peer-to-peer HTTP-live streaming platform paper on Research Gate.

The abstract goes as follows:

“Peer2View is a commercial peer-to-peer live video streaming (P2PLS) system. The novelty of Peer2View is threefold:

i) It is the first P2PLS platform to support HTTP as transport protocol for live content,

ii) The system supports both single and multi-bitrate streaming modes of operation, and

iii) It makes use of an application-layer dynamic congestion control to manage priorities of transfers. Peer2View goals are to achieve substantial savings towards the source of the stream while providing the same quality of user experience of a CDN”
