A scheme for peer-to-peer live streaming with multi-source multicast and forward error correction

In this paper, we propose a scheme for peer-to-peer (P2P) live streaming with multi-source multicast and forward error correction. In our scheme, there is a control topology for membership management, and a multi-source multicast tree for data delivery. The control topology facilitates peers to locate multiple sources for media content, and the multi- source multicast tree make the system adaptive to node churn and packet loss. Simulation results show that the performance of our proposed method is significantly better than that of BitTorrent-Like (BT-Like) systems.
