A study on ALTO-assisted P2P live video streaming systems

In this paper we introduce the variation of received video quality and the network traffic between internet service providers with different provider-defined network location identifier sizes on an application-layer traffic optimization-assisted peer-to-peer live video streaming system. We use two different ranking algorithms to construct membership lists for newly joined peers by means of application-layer traffic optimization server. These ranking algorithms consider the upload bandwidths of peers and the physical hop count between the candidate and the newly joined peer, respectively. Network simulator-3 is used to implement and test our video streaming application with different provider-defined network location identifier and node sizes.
