Peer-Assisted On-Demand Streaming of Stored Media Using BitTorrent-Like Protocols
Overview With BitTorrent-like protocols a client may download a file from a large and changing set of peers, using connections of heterogeneous and time-varying bandwidths. This flexibility is achieved by breaking the file into many small pieces, each of which may be downloaded from different peers. This paper considers an approach to peer-assisted on-demand delivery of stored media that is based on the relatively simple and flexible BitTorrent-like approach, but which is able to achieve a form of "Streaming" delivery, in the sense that playback can begin well before the entire media file is received.
