Anysee2: an auto load balance P2P live streaming system with hybrid architecture

Nowadays, Peer-to-Peer Technology has been widely used in live streaming applications and many related systems are proposed. However, their single overlay design and unbalanced scheduling methods lead to some inefficiency including high control overhead and bad playback experience. This paper mainly discusses how to address these certain problems. We introduce a hybrid architecture to solve the locality problem and reduce the control overhead. We also propose a scheduling method to achieve load balance. All solutions are implemented in Anysee2.
