Benefits Of Peer To Peer Video Streaming

According to a forecast made by Cisco Systems, nearly 90% of all content traveling the net over the next couple of years is likely to be video, whether peer to peer or streamed from other servers. Video broadcasting over the internet is gaining popularity, largely due to the development of techniques like peer to peer video streaming. What is Peer to Peer Video Streaming? Peer to Peer (P2P) video streaming is a software based solution that allows users to distribute data to a larger audience without using a central server. Generally, all streaming media players buffer some segments of the video before actually showing them to the viewer. The actual telecast is started after some amount of buffering is completed and the buffering for the next segment continues while the telecast of the previous segments occurs. Ideally, this type of streaming should not have any video or sound interruptions, but due to the overload on the servers in most cases, interruptions are unavoidable. Peer to peer video streaming is extremely useful in thesesituations. Benefits of Peer to Peer Video Streaming The peer to peer video streaming techniques received an excellent response because of the various benefits it offers, such as: 1. This technology allows viewers to re-distribute media broadcasts, thus eliminating the need to utilize costly centralized media servers. 2. The use of P2P video streaming software allows users viewing media to upload content at the same time that the video programs are being downloaded and viewed. Since all viewers can upload content while viewing the video, they all become broadcasters without incurring the cost of traditional streaming. So more viewers increase the rate at which programs can be uploaded. The use of this technology results in significant cost savings related to bandwidth consumption. 3. Another benefit of this technology is that it enables users to automatically find different connection nodes (of other users) and download media stream data from the nearest located user. In such situations, the stream data is buffered in the memory and not the hard disk of the system. 4. The use of peer to peer video streaming software allows a broadcaster to globally distribute content with the help of only a few data streams. Peer to peer video streaming solutions are increasingly used by enterprises to provide high-quality streams without any adverse impact on their networks.
