Performance analysis of video streaming on different hybrid CDN & P2P infrastructure

Abstract

With the rapid expansion of network application over the Internet, the deployment of live streaming systems become more and more popular, significantly enhancing the user experience. As the numbers of users are expanding significantly, the traditional Client-Server architecture can't afford the number of growing users. Therefore the video quality of service and network scalability is become so deprived. Based on the demand of users and drawbacks of client-server architecture, institutes and researchers have provided effective solutions to contrive new application systems called Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Peerto-Peer (P2P) network. Recently, researchers have proposed a hybrid approach that amalgamates both CDN and P2P was proposed in the literature. The goal of this paper is to simulate and investigate the performance of hybrid CDN and P2P on live-casting video distribution, and contrast it against our propounded hybrid CDN and P2P with hierarchical arrangement called Dynamic Mobile Server (DMS), in terms of average frame loss ratio, packet loss ratio and peak signal noise ratio.
