The P2P IPTV will create a new paradigm for the Internet services. However, it cannot guarantee the reliability of their server and QoS because of using common Internet users(peers) for SIP server or relay server, though the infrastructural cost is low. This paper proposes the ISP-based P2P IPTV architecture which can solute the limitations of conventional P2P-based IPTV. In this model, ISP can build P2P overlay network with ISP servers and directly manage each server needed for session connection. So, the servers have higher performance and better reliability than previous one. Besides, robustness is improved because each sever is set by P2P overlay network. To evaluate the characteristics of the ISP-based P2P IPTV architecture, we simulate it for some parameters which are end-to-end streaming delay time, connection delay time and traffic amount. We compared the proposed architecture with the conventional P2P architecture about video service and confirmed that the performance of ISP-based P2P IPTV is better than conventional P2P based IPTV.

In this paper, we propose a P2P based IPTV system using a multiple chain architecture. Proposed system is robust to the peer churn. As opposed to the internet the IPTV network managed by a single ISP has fewer bandwidth constraints and end-to-end connectivity. So, we emphasize preferentially robustness of a P2P network in IPTV environment. A single chain structure which was proposed previously emphasizes simplicity, however there exists considerable delay time at the end part of peers as the number of peers increasing. As a solution to the problem, we propose the scheme which seperates the chain into several levels and again divides each level into spans to diminish a delay time. Though the chain is separated into level and span, basic structure of proposed scheme is still a chain structure. So the scheme simplifies the recovery procedure caused by join or departure of peers. We will show the improved performance of proposed scheme rather than single chain structure with respect to the delay time and reliability.

In this paper, we propose an UCC broadcasting system in P2P based IPTV environments. Proposed system applies P2P based multiple chain architecture. UCC broadcasting system transfers data from not ISP server but UCC server peer that is included in DSLAM to joined peers. Therefore an algorithm to manage join and departure of peers have to modified. In this paper we propose an algorithm that does not increase an uplink bandwidth of DSLAM that include UCC server when peer joins to the UCC channel. We will show the improved performance of proposed scheme rather than general method with respect to the uplink bandwidth of DSLAM that include UCC server.
