PPETP

PPETP is based on a protocol that allows to do video streaming to a large number of users, with a limited burden for the video provider. The basic idea is that each user “helps” the provider by re-sending the video data to other users. In this way the provider just needs to “seed” a subset of the users and the network will take care of the data distribution by itself. Albeit simple, this idea poses several technical challenges solved by our protocol.
