Higher Quality of Service Through Peer-Assisted Streaming and Layered Video Coding

LIVE media streaming applications have become more and more popular. IP multicast is the most efficient mechanism but Due to the practical issues of routers, IP multicast has not been widely deployed in the wide-area network infrastructure. The application-level solution build a peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network out of unicast tunnels across cooperative participating users. P2P media streaming has become a promising approach to broadcast non interactive live media from one source to a large number of receivers. Design of a live P2P streaming system faces many challenges. Therefore, no single application-level multicast stream can meet the requirements of everyone. The proposed architecture aims to provide higher streaming quality and to provide robustness. In the Proposed System the Parallel efforts have been exerted in the media streaming field and networking field to avoid the problem of distributing LIVE video. The tree-based approaches are vulnerable for dynamic group variation but the gossip based mesh-like topology for overlay network systems allow peers to form multiple neighbors, so multilayered video contents are distributed among mesh-like network. Due to this multisource transmission scheme, packets can be exchanged among clients efficiently.
