Abstract:

To analyze the influence of the dynamics of download speed on performance of peer to peer (P2P) video on demand (VoD) streaming systems, a playback interruption model is presented. The model shows that the dynamics of download speed is the main reason of the playback interruption. Both increasing the prefetched content and the download speed can reduce the number of interruptions. However, the former delays the interruption, the latter brings forward the interruption. The interruption may happen frequently in the whole playback process, though with low probability. Through network measurement towards PPLive VoD system, the behavior of the interruption can be verified.

Key words: peer to peer, video on demand, quality of service, interruption
