    abstract = {{Peer-to-peer live streaming systems allow a bandwidth-constrained source to broadcast a video feed to a large number of users. In addition, a design with high link utilization can achieve high stream rates, supporting high-quality video. Until now, only tree-based designs have been shown to achieve close-to-optimal rates in real-life conditions, leaving the question open as to the attainable efficiency of completely unstructured mesh-based approaches. In this paper we answer that question by showing that a carefully-designed mesh-based system can achieve close-to-optimal stream rates. Specifically, we implement and evaluate a design based on a mesh-based algorithm called DP/LU. Contrary to tree-based designs, DP/LU uses an unstructured overlay, which is easier to construct and is highly resistant to churn. In addition, we introduce mechanisms for overlay rewiring and source scheduling that lead to significant performance improvements. Our experimental evaluation shows that our design achieves 95% of the maximum achievable stream rate in a static environment, and 90% under high churn. This demonstrates that mesh-based designs are an excellent choice for scalable and robust high-quality peer-to-peer live streaming.}},

    abstract = {{Current peer-to-peer systems are network-agnostic, often generating large volumes of unnecessary inter-ISP traffic. Although recent work has shown the benefits of ISP-awareness on bulk transfer applications, no studies have focused on optimizing P2P live streaming systems. These are harder to design, as data must be diffused to all receivers within short delays. In this paper we propose a novel scheme for ISP-friendly mesh-based live streaming. Each peer maintains two distinct sets of overlay neighbors, used respectively for local and global stream propagation. A dynamic unchoke mechanism minimizes inter-ISP traffic in normal operation, enabling it promptly when local diffusion is impaired, e.g., when fast local sources become suddenly unavailable. Our scheme is independent of the chunk scheduling algorithm, and thus can be applied to a wide range of existing systems. We have integrated our ISP-friendly scheme to our P2P live streaming prototype, and evaluated its performance through emulation and Planetlab experiments. Our results show that our scheme adapts quickly to churn and dynamic network conditions, and achieves up to a ten-fold reduction in transit traffic.}},
