Accelerating data distribution in P2P live stream with data reservation mechanism

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to improve data transmission efficiency in a P2P system.

Design/methodology/approach

This mechanism does not require changing existing mesh topology, and only necessary peers' evaluation mechanisms need to be introduced.

Findings

This paper presents a data reservation mechanism so that it can transmit data via the push and pull model on the P2P live stream system with the mesh topology. The experiment result of establishing a simulation environment reveals that the above mentioned is an effective way of reducing the data transmission delay by 40 per cent.

Originality/value

To improve data transmission efficiency in a P2P system, this paper presents a data reservation mechanism so that it can transmit data via the push and pull model on the P2P live stream system with the mesh topology.
