There have been tremendous efforts and many technical innovations in supporting real-time
video streaming in the past two decades, but cost-effective large-scale video broadcast has …

A robust real-time video communication service over the Internet in a distributed manner is
an important challenge, as it influences not only the current Internet structure but also the …

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are being integrated into the power market by
customers rather than large scale energy suppliers, thereby slowly transforming the …

The success of file swarming mechanisms such as BitTorrent has motivated a new approach
for scalable streaming of live content that we call mesh-based Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming …

In recent years, overlay networks have become an effective alternative to IP multicast for
efficient point to multipoint communication across the Internet. Typically, nodes self-organize …

Existing approaches to P2P streaming can be divided into two general classes:(i) tree-based
approaches use push-based content delivery over multiple tree-shaped overlays, and (ii) …

To distribute video and audio data in real-time streaming mode, two different technologies–
Content Distribution Network (CDN) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P)–have been proposed …

Erasure coding is a technique for achieving high availability and reliability in storage and
communication systems. We revisit the analysis of erasure code replication and point out …

Peer-to-peer technologies have proved to be effective for various bandwidth intensive, large
scale applications such as file-transfer. For many years, there has been tremendous interest …

In this paper, we report on experience in building and deploying an operational Internet
broadcast system based on Overlay Multicast. In over a year, the system has been providing …
