Resource Allocation in a Hybrid CDN-P۲P Video Streaming

These days one of the most important reasons of increasing the Internet users is video-over-IP, so the traffic onthe Internet is increasing and will be a major problem. Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Peer-to-Peer (P۲P)are two famous techniques for the efficient distribution of video streams. CDN and P۲P systems have their ownlimitations and advantages that by combining these two methods (CDN and P۲P), their disadvantages have beensolved. So a hybrid CDN-P۲P network is an efficient and cost-effective solution for large-scale video streamingover the Internet. In this thesis the main goal is to design an efficient resource allocation algorithm in a hybridCDN-P۲P connected mesh live video streaming network. Average delay and average perceived video quality inthe group are the main performance metrics that will be considered in design and evaluation of a resourceallocation algorithm subject to the resource constraints of the CDN nodes and also the Internet peers.
