On 3D streaming over peer-to-peer networks

Abstract

3D streaming over peer to peer networks is gaining great importance with increase in internet advancements. After a huge success in linear streaming over peer to peer networks, many nonlinear media streaming solutions has been proposed recently. In this work, we first give brief survey on some proposed techniques in the domain of Non Linear Multimedia content streaming. Secondly, analysis on key challenges like scalability, content authenticity etc. and their proposed solutions for 3D streaming over P2P channel is made. The major objective is to give a broad picture about the current scenario of P2P 3D streaming models in order to guide and motivate the ongoing research in a better direction. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
