Hybrid CDN/P2P Architecture for HLS Broadcasts

Introduction

BemTV is an attempt to scale live video streaming using peer-to-peer without the need of an external plug-in. It uses the powers of WebRTC to build swarms, enabling the possibility to flow chunks between users.

How?

Almost all modern browsers supports WebRTC. BemTV acts intercepting the requests for chunks by the player, trying to fetch it from a peer swarm. If nobody serves, it will get it from the CDN. That's why it's called a Hybrid Model.

Let me try

Open BemTV website and call friends near you to visit also. Click play and look at chunks being exchanged on the stats box!

How to build the plugins?

Follow this tutorial.

Development

Currently I'm working on a clappr player plugin that adds peer-to-peer support to HTTP Live Streaming (hls) streams. You can find the code and follow the progress by watching this repository.

Publications

You can follow BemTV publications and academic works by watching this repository. I'll push papers and presentations related to BemTV progress.
