The growth of the Internet technology enables us to use network applicationsfor streaming audio and video. Especially, real-time streaming services usingpeer-to-peer (P2P) technology are currently emerging. An important issue on P2Pstreaming is how to construct a logical network (overlay network) on a physicalnetwork (IP network). In this paper, we propose an initial peer configurationalgorithm for a multi-streaming peer-to-peer network. The proposed algorithm isbased on a mesh-pull approach where any node has multiple parent and childnodes as neighboring nodes, and content transmitted between these neighboringnodes depends on their parent-child relationships. Our simulation experimentsshow that the proposed algorithm improves the number of joining node andtraffic load.
