Client-Server Versus Peer-to-Peer Architecture: Comparisons for Streaming Video
Overview Today streaming media is gaining importance as a way to efficiently deliver real-time news and events. Currently the client-server architecture is chiefly used to stream data to end-users. This network design leads to performance impediments for the client when the server becomes overwhelmed with requests. A degradation of quality can also occur if the server is on a lossy network. Because of the transfer protocols used machines are not able to recover the packets that were lost. Recently Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have been proposed as an alternative solution. P2P applications allow multiple clients to send desired data to the requester. The paper hypothesized that the P2P network architecture would use less bandwidth and increases the frame rate of the media streamed.
