Abstract

Using peer-to-Peer (P2P) architectures for large scale interactive applications such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) is very challenging because of the difficulties to maintain a consistent game world in a distributed topology and exchange game state information in the P2P network without a central sever. In this demo proposal we present the innovative design and implementation of PartyPeer, an online social game which supports a massive number of users using our P2P based streaming network called ACTIVE+. We also discuss some of the implementation challenges when building this real-world P2P based game.

A framework for architecting peer-to-peer receiver-driven overlays
NOSSDAV '04: Proceedings of the 14th international workshop on Network and operating systems support for digital audio and video

This paper presents a simple and scalable framework for architecting peer-to-peer overlays called Peer-to-peer Receiver-driven Overlay (or PRO). PRO is designed for non-interactive streaming applications and its primary design goal is to maximize ...
Dynamic Bandwidth Auctions in Multioverlay P2P Streaming with Network Coding

In peer-to-peer (P2P) live streaming applications such as IPTV, it is natural to accommodate multiple coexisting streaming overlays, corresponding to channels of programming. In the case of multiple overlays, it is a challenging task to design an ...
On the minimum delay peer-to-peer video streaming: how realtime can it be?
MM '07: Proceedings of the 15th ACM international conference on Multimedia

P2P systems exploit the uploading bandwidth of individual peers to distribute content at low server cost. While the P2P bandwidth sharing design is very efficient for bandwidth sensitive applications, it imposes a fundamental performance constraint for ...
