摘要：The phenomenal success and popularity of peer-to-peer (p2p) streaming over the last decade took many providers, researchers, as well as the mass, by surprise. It would become the dominant type of traffic over the Internet in the very near future. The released Windows Vista contains its own P2P networking system. Though P2P streaming has become one of the most attractive network applications, it is still awaiting some technological breakthroughs. P2P streaming faces very different challenges from other P2P applications, such as file download. In live P2P streaming, the stringent real-time performance requirement in terms of bandwidth and latency is one of the challenges it faces. In addition, frequent joining and leaving of the autonomous end-hosts have more significant impact on the system performance. So the churn problem and reconstruction due to uncertainty are key challenges of P2P streaming. A number of solutions were proposed which did not take all the factors into account. This paper presents IAM (IP Address Matching), a novel protocol for P2P live streaming system.
