Summary

Congestion-Aware Video Streaming over Peer-to-Peer Networks presents the results of years of research carried out at Stanford University by authors Eric Setton and Berd Girod. This book will be of use to both professional and academic audiences as it presents thorough coverage and solutions for current issues with Video Streaming and Peer-to-Peer architectures. Key Features Provides overview of today's state-of-the art video streaming technology Presents adaptive video coding and streaming techniques for performance enhancement of conventional client-server systems and P2P multicast Focus on throughput-limited environments where congestion often hampers interactivity and fast response times Results derived from experiments carried out over large-scale simulated peer networks Detailed appendix incorporates experiments not otherwise shown in the book
