Abstract

Recently, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) live streaming assisted by the cloud computing has attracted considerable attention to improve the reliability of the P2P such as the resilience to peer churn and the shortage of upload capacity. The cost of cloud-assistance is comprised of the number of requests issued to the cloud and the amount of data fetched from the cloud. In this paper, we propose three techniques to reduce the cost of such a cloud-assistance.More concretely, in the proposed method, 1) each peer which lost its parent in the overlay can find a new parent by referring to the information registered in the cloud, 2) several peers which proactively fetch chunks from the cloud are dynamically invested, and 3) the number of requests issued to the cloud is reduced by allowing peers to fetch a collection of chunks using a single request. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by simulation. The simulation results indicate that it reduces the cost of conventional scheme by 46% while guaranteeing the quality of live streaming service.
