Description: In this Microsoft Research video, Keith Ross, professor of computer science at Polytechnic University, discusses the fundamental problems of recently emerging large-scale deployments of P2P live video systems and presents an alternative. Ross proposes a new cross-channel P2P streaming framework, called View-Upload Decoupling (VUD). VUD strictly decouples peer downloading from uploading, bringing stability to multichannel systems and enabling cross-channel resource sharing. Furthermore, Ross proposes a set of peer assignment and bandwidth allocation algorithms to properly provision bandwidth among channels, and introduce sub-stream swarming to reduce the bandwidth overhead. Learn about how Ross and his team used product-form stochastic models to model multiple channel P2P systems and how the product-form theory is applied to both traditional isolated channel systems and VUD designs.
