P2P Streaming: Push vs Pull

Pull

many remote peers
Push

……

pull: +RTT for every piece
• pull: high throughput requires many
•

•

push: connect once, use for a
long time

• push = substream method

◦ many services like Coolstreaming 07, Afreeca 08,
◦ also referred to as sliced or layered streaming

CBR, VBR, SVC
CBR and VBR are self-explanatory, the best VBR is H.264 12
• SVC: recently introduced into H.264 and well studied 13
• SVC: think of it as configurable load distribution across frames

frame size in VBR/SVC

(replaced with new)
• methods:

AIR: responds to churn by changing frame size distribution to mimic p R k
FIR.VBR: reassigns frames to substreams in descending order (both in rates and
frame sizes) 02

Wrapup
VBR is fit for real peer crowds
• SVC is even better because transponding is easy
•
•

social utility in the AIR method shows good response both in improving and
deteriorating conditions
