A Survey on Peer-to-Peer Streaming System's Neighbor Number

摘要

In this paper, we describe a probability model to analyze the effect of neighbor number size based on two performance metrics: video quality and distribution delay. Some simulation is done to prove the theory model. The theoretical analysis and the simulation both show that increasing the neighbor number size does little to the system video quality when the buffer size is large enough, but can reduce the distribution delay of chunk effectively.
