Comparative Analysis of New Hybrid Approach for Overlay Construction in P2P Live Streaming

Abstract

There has been a surging increase in the demand for media streaming over the internet during the last few decades. Live streaming comprises of a majority portion of streaming video over the Internet. Peer-to-peer network plays a very significant role by controlling the overhead at the server side. Also, the peer-to-peer network is easily scalable due to which it encourages file sharing and live video streaming . Overlay construction comprises a major part of peer-to-peer communication. Different overlay approaches like tree and mesh have already been discussed. In this paper, we perform a comparative analysis of the New Hybrid Approach for Overlay Construction in P2P Live Streaming. This approach is a combination of the tree and mesh topology. The simulation results presented in this paper verifies that our approach is better than the DenaCast approach in respect of end to end delay, start-up delay, and frame loss.
