Abstract: The ever growing demand for video content attracted the attention of research from traditional server-based schemes to peer-to-peer systems for video dissemination. Users connect to each other, establishing a p2p overlay network on top of the Internet and give-and-take the video segments amongst themselves. The performance of a p2p system is characterized by its ability to disseminate the video content to all peers without errors and with the minimum possible delay. This constitutes a challenge since peers dynamically join and leave the overlay and also contribute different amounts of resources to the system. By considering these facts we have published a paper on P2P live video streaming [1]. This paper mainly focuses on the implementation and result analysis of our already published work.
