This final year project is entitled Peer-to-peer video streaming. Peer-to-peer video streaming is an alternative method of video streaming besides the client-server video streaming. The program will allow the client to share the network resources such as bandwidth in order to stream the video. Each user, while downloading, is also uploading, thus contributing to the overall available bandwidth. The video quality of the charmels typically depends on how many users are watching; the video quality is better if there are more users. This project will use a multi sender method in a peer-to-peer network enviromnent. We are going to use a multicast method on the top of an arbitrary multisender method so that all requesting peers receive almost the same expected bit-rate. The program will be done using Java enviromnent and its algorithms. The principle used in doing the project is sharing the computer resources and the idea increasing the scalability according to the number of receivers.
