Abstract
In this paper, we propose a BitTorrent-based dynamic bandwidth adaptation algorithm for video streaming. Two mechanisms to improve the original BitTorrent protocol are proposed: (1) the decoding order frame first (DOFF) frame selection algorithm and (2) the rarest I frame first (RIFF) frame selection algorithm. With the proposed algorithms, a peer can periodically check the number of downloaded frames in the buffer and then allocate the available bandwidth adaptively for video streaming. As a result, users can have smooth video playout experience with the proposed algorithms.
