Reliable real-time stream distribution using an Internet multicast overlay

A real-time peer-to-peer stream distribution system is proposed. Distribution network adapts over time as users are added and removed, as well as due to changing network conditions. Every node both receives and forwards traffic, cooperating to minimize the bandwidth requirement on the source. The goal is to demonstrate that such a system is feasible, and that it can reduce the resource requirements of special purpose broadcasting. Thesis Supervisor: Andrew B.
