Abstract
Peer-to-peer streaming has recently gained attention as an effective solution to support large scale media streaming applications over the Internet. One of the main challenges of peer-to-peer video streaming is the cumulative impact of the Internet packet loss due to the decoding dependency of the compressed video frames. In this paper we study the impact of the Internet packet loss on the performance of peer-to-peer video streaming systems, and analyze the efficiency of various packet loss recovery policies in such systems. Our analytical and simulation results show how the Internet packet loss can affect the performance of peer- to-peer video streaming systems and how different packet loss...

Abstract
Over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services have been growing rapidly in the last decade, and thus increasing Quality-of-Experience (QoE) of end users is of great interest in emerging services. Although, numerous subjective studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of video presentation quality and playback interruptions, understanding the interactions between impairment types is still an open problem. In this work, we develop a streaming video dataset that contains compressed videos with different distortion levels as well as playback stalling events. Then, a subjective user study is performed to measure the QoE of these videos. The results of our experiment reveal strong...

A Content Aware Packet Loss Recovery Scheme in P2P Video Streaming Systems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbari, Behzad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Streaming video over the Internet has become popular in recent years. There are also popular solutions for data delivery, but these approaches are very inflexible and unpleasant because no appropriate error recovery technique isprovided in the application level of these systems for multimedia contents. In the past few years numerous error resilience Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have been introduced but still there is no fully dynamic error recovery technique. In this thesisthe researcher proposed a frame-based hybrid FEC-ARQ (Forward Error Correction – Automatic Repeat request) error recovery in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) video streams based on the network situation in a way that before...

Improving Video Streaming over Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghanbari, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Overlay Peer-to-Peer networks opposed to their high scalability and more robustness against network errors, are more considerable rather than other content distribution approaches such as Client/Server and multicast video streaming. At this thesis we investigate the video streaming over these networks, which includes more than half of internet traffic nowadays.Localized video streaming is one of the techniques for improving quality of service (QoS) over peer-to-peer networks. With localization techniques, video chunks distribute among neighbors that have more proximity with each other and traffic is held localized over the network.We proposed a new metric for estimating network proximity of...
LiveCod: A mesh-pull P2P live streaming system with XOR-based network coding
, Article 2010 IEEE Globecom Workshops, GC'10 ; 2010 , Pages 436-441 ; 9781424488650 (ISBN) ; Khansari, M ; Rabiee, H. R ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This paper presents a mesh-pull peer-to-peer (P2P) live video streaming system. The proposed XOR-based Network Coding (XOR-NC) system is based on GIA protocol and introduces new search and answer data formats for chunks which are used by the network coding algorithm for exchanging data among peers. The search message contains the XORed GOP (Group of Picture) keys and some meta-data such as search key. The answer message, however, has the XORed GOP data and a summary of video blocks of the encoded GOP. In order to reduce the encoding complexity at each peer, a new content-based cache (CCache) is also introduced. Comparison of LiveCod with traditional GIA and GIA with random network coding...

Abstract
Recently it has been shown that network coding can highly improve the network throughput in the communication systems and specifically increase the downloading performance in P2P networks. This paper presents a new live streaming system for GIA-based P2P networks. In the proposed system the traditional GIA protocol is improved for an efficient use in multimedia applications. We introduce a new mesh-pull layered video streaming framework for GIA-based systems and employ random network coding to improve the network performance. Random network coding algorithm enables each peer to send a single encoded video chunk instead of multiple video blocks toward the destination node and save its...
A Hybrid Peer-to-Peer Architecture for Real-Time Layered Video Streaming Over the Internet
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rabiee, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The accessibility of broadband Internet to home users has pushed video broadcasting applications up in the list of the most favorite IP-based applications. A Peer-to-Peer overlay network is an attractive foundation for video streaming as it can shift the burden of content distribution from the network routers and servers to the clients. However, live Peer-to-Peer media streaming systems face many challenges such as bandwidth heterogeneity, node churn, and selfish nodes. Although many tree based and mesh based streaming protocols have been proposed, each has its own drawbacks such as unreliability and unfairness in the tree based and long startup delay and complex scheduling in mesh based...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rabiee, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The accessibility of broadband Internet to home users has pushed video broadcasting applications up, in the list of most favorite applications in todays Internet. Such applications involve delivering the data which generated in a single sender to a set of users which are scattered around the world. While it was formerly believed that the IP-Multicasting is the mean to provide this kind of services, the trend has altered to the use of Application Layer Multicasting techniques due to their deployment simplicty. Since their advent, Peer to Peer applications has mitigated many problems previously unsolved in the field of communication. File sharing, distributed file systems, distributed data...

A Scheme for Improving Security in Peer-to-Peer Video Streaming Networks
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rabiei, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The improvments in computer networks and video compression techniques have motivated the network engineers to broadcast video over the Internet. Recently, Peer-to-Peer networks have been considered as a suitable way for video streaming. P2P networks are distributed and there’s no central management mechanism in them. In addition, video has a time-sensitive nature. Therefore, these networks are vulnerable to security attacks. Denial of Service attacks, attacks on the membership management mechanism, attacks on neighbors selection mechanism, selfish nodes and content pollution attacks are common attack on Peer-to-Peer Video Streaming networks. In a content pollution attack, one or several...
A Hybrid CDN-P2P Architecture for Live Video Streaming
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbari, Behzad (Supervisor)
Abstract
IP multicasting, content distribution networks (CDN) and recently P2P streaming systems are the main scalable methods that have been researched. IP multicasting has not been activated in service provider networks due to some fundamental deployment problems and CDNs require the deployment of a large number of servers throughout the Internet. Pure P2P architecture is a more challenging approach for constant quality and continuous video streaming due to the churn nature and limited resource of the Internet peers. Therefore, we design a hybrid architecture for large-scale video streaming applications that combine an infrastructure of CDNs with the P2P network. Unlike previous work, in...

Resource Allocation in a Hybrid CDN-P2P Video Streaming
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbari, Behzad (Supervisor) ; Khansari, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Since the contribution bandwidth of each CDN (Content Delivery Network) node and also each peer are limited, optimal allocation of their bandwidth to their partners is an interesting issue. In this work, an efficient resource allocation algorithm in a hybrid CDN-P2P (Content Delivery Network- peer to peer) video streaming network has been designed and each peer will receive the video chunks with the bit rate according to the number of nodes that the peer supports. We have added this algorithm to Coolstreaming because it does not have a resource allocation mechanism. In Coolstreaming each peer when requests chunks from its neighbors, the neighbors will send the peer the requested chunks with...
