An effective peer assisted content delivery in peer-to-peer live media streaming

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication is a popular network communication protocol that impacts and changes the way files being distributed over the large networks. The P2P protocol is widely adapted by researchers as a method to handle larger groups of users. Variants of P2P protocols have also been appl...

The findings of performance evaluation showed an average of better video continuity and lower source to end delay. 2014-03 Thesis http://shdl.mmu.edu.my/6257/ http://library.mmu.edu.my/diglib/onlinedb/dig_lib.php masters Multimedia University Faculty of Computing and Informatics
