Peer to Peer Video Streaming Application

This final year project is entitled Peer-to-peer video streaming. Peer-to-peer video
streaming is an alternative method of video streaming besides the client-server video
streaming. The program will allow the client to share the network resources such as
bandwidth in order to stream the video. Each user, while downloading, is also uploading,
thus contributing to the overall available bandwidth. The video quality of the charmels
typically depends on how many users are watching; the video quality is better if there are
more users. This project will use a multi sender method in a peer-to-peer network
enviromnent. We are going to use a multicast method on the top of an arbitrary multisender
method so that all requesting peers receive almost the same expected bit-rate. The
program will be done using Java enviromnent and its algorithms.
The principle used in doing the project is sharing the computer resources and the idea
increasing the scalability according to the number of receivers.
