Abstract

Peer-to-peer video-on-demand (P2P-VoD) is one of the most commercially important and technically challenging applications. In such systems, each video file is typically divided into sub-pieces that are stored possibly at different sending peers, and the receiving peer often needs to coordinate multiple senders by specifying a transmission schedule for them. In this paper, we investigate this transmission scheduling problem for a specific P2P-VoD system which is PPLive. We formalize the problem of scheduling sub-piece transmission based on stochastic network calculus, and analyze its delay performance. Based on the delay analysis, an optimization problem is formulated to design the schedule for sending peers to transmit their sub-pieces. The objective of this optimization is to maximize a defined reward and at the same time meet the delay constraint required to ensure video quality at the receiver.
