Distributed Cache to Support Video-on-Demand Service over P2P Network

P2P Video-on-Demand (VoD) is becoming a popular service in the Internet. The first deployments are already in place, and millions of customers worldwide are already using this new medium. But its success is still quite limited and technically, these researches have been deployed in a rush, mostly based on practicality and instability. This paper studies the advantages and potential problems of VoD in peer-to-peer (P2P) network, we propose a system which uses a distributed VoD streaming scheme over P2P network to support media streaming.
