Abstract

Overlays and P2P systems, initially developed to support IP multicast and file-sharing, have moved beyond that functionality. They are also proving to be key technologies for the delivery of video streaming. Recently, there have been a number of successful deployments for “live” P2P streaming. However, the question remains open whether similar P2P technologies can be used to provide VoD (Video-On-Demand) services. A P2P VoD service is more challenging to design than a P2P live streaming system because the system should allow users arriving at arbitrary times to watch (arbitrary parts of) the video.

In this work, the requirements to supply P2P VoD services and the different design decisions that have to be adopted are surveyed. The open problems are also presented.
