A low-latency peer-to-peer live and VOD streaming system based on scalable video coding

This paper demonstrates a peer-to-peer (P2P) live and VOD streaming system called Immedia based on Scalable Video Coding (SVC) with low latency. With features of layered coding in SVC, Immedia system could automatically adapt output video rate to varying network. Especially, the live system combining P2P streaming media transmission techniques works better in this respect and greatly reduces server pressure in a large-scale environment.
