Live video streaming is perhaps the greatest unfulfilled promise of the Internet. There have been tremendous efforts and many technical innovations in supporting real-time video streaming in the past two decades, but cost-effective large-scale video streaming has remained an elusive goal. Recent development in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based streaming technology seems to bring unprecedented new momentum to the Internet video streaming, which has been shown to be cost effective, scalable and easy to deploy.
In this talk, I will review the state-of-the-art P2P live video streaming technologies and its development; I will discuss the main innovations and the key trade-off in the system design, and provide our observations on the future development.
