Network-aware streaming services delivery over ISP-driven P2P networks

The massive exploitation of P2P networks and the deployment of the video streaming services is bringing significant challenges for the service providers and leading to the network efficiency problem to utilize available network resources. In this paper, we propose an ISP-driven P2P framework that enables the better interaction among the ISPs and the P2P application providers. In this framework, the interaction among different entities is facilitated by a topology-aware 2-dimensional overlay network organization driven by the ISPs that is used to organize the participating peers within the network. Furthermore, this ISP-driven overlay organization is used for the streaming service delivery of the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) contents. The proposed framework intends to ensure the improved QoS for the P2P application and enables efficient utilization of the available network resources to benefit the ISPs.
