Enhancing Multimedia Streaming: SIP2P Framework for Future Communication Networks
This course paper presents the SIP2P (Server-Initiated Peer-to-Peer) model as an innovative solution to enhance multimedia streaming within a future communication framework. It critically evaluates the existing client-server and peer-to-peer paradigms, addressing issues such as reliability, speed, and operational costs associated with streaming services. The analysis includes economic considerations, user utility, and service provider viability, demonstrating how SIP2P can increase user satisfaction while reducing costs. Key components such as seeding servers, accounting, and DRM are discussed to build a comprehensive model for future multimedia applications.

Competitiveness NGN SIP2P P2P • HYPOTHESIS • SIP2P will only prevail if it offers higher utility to both peers and service providers than traditional streaming services, given the same quality level
Economic Analysis • Peer's utility (u) αInducement factor βOpportunity cost factor u Utility v Price Key equations • Low Opportunity cost of underutilised resources • Inexpensive to increase utility • Cut-over • Explains current P2P
Economic Analysis • Service Provider's cost (C) q License fee O Operational Cost γDepreciation factor I Investment αInducement factor Key equations TRAD • Profit maximising • Same functionality • Same cost • Different Investment TRAD profit SIP2P Unit Cost α Total Cost User reward SIP2P Number of users Number of users

Conclusion • Sever Initiated Peer-to-Peer (SIP2P) • Hybrid of Client/Server and Peer-to-Peer • Increases user’s utility • Decreases service provider’s cost • Split Profit / Reward • Decreases total cost • Is it bandwidth efficient? • Do users react to small rewards? • Is it technically possible • Which cooperative platform to use TRAD Unit Cost α SIP2P Number of users TRAD profit SIP2P Total Cost User reward Number of users
