A First Design Approach to a Multimedia SDK Based on a Hybrid P2P Architecture

TL;DRAbstract

The Internet multimedia streaming increased proportional to the number of streaming users and from 2005 peer-to-peer media streaming received a substantial amount of research attention and was applied for both live and on-demand video streaming. This technique succeeded to provide a large number of multimedia streams while consuming less bandwidth than in the case of a client-server architecture. Multimedia streaming is a complex subject, it widens over various computer science fields as the networking area, multimedia compression area and the security area. Due to the increasing need of multimedia streaming applications and the need for continuous communication with harsh constraints such as real-time communication, low bandwidth and content security, the need for a flexible and extensible tool is justified, and the main purpose of such a tool is to facilitate the development of applications such as Goober [9], IConf [10], Ekiga [11] or Skype [12]. The responsibilities of such SDK are
