Video Streaming Goes Peer-to-Peer
CMU ESM Project writes "Our research group at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a peer to
peer streaming video content distribution system called End System
Multicast (ESM).
The system constructs a self-organizing and adaptive overlay network
using
the receivers that are tuning into the broadcast events. The system has
been
used fairly successfully for
quite a few events. Now we want test the system with a lot of more users
and different user join patterns. We are streaming some very cool
video, such as Triumph of the Nerds by Bob Cringely, distinguished
lecture by Eric Schmidt,
CEO of Google, ACM SIGCOMM conference paper presentation by Dave Clark,
and 2002 Sony Legged Robot Soccer Championship.
Here is the detailed
schedule. So please tune in, enjoy, and help test our system!" The streaming is based on QuickTime; for Linux users, the project page steps through installation of CodeWeaver's CrossOver plug-in.
mplayer also handles Quicktime, though you may have to recompile your kernel.
Actually.. i have a white ibook. It was white, but i used rubbing alcohol to take the paint off, and repainted it myself. Now I have a Marine Corps flag on the top (with glowing EGA) and an American flag on the bottom. Not all mac users are pre-pubscent girls you know.
magnanomous.
"...demonstrated to a crowd of hackers at a hacker convention exactly how to strip the encryption from Adobe eBook files and redistribute an unlimited number of exact digital copies of any information contained in the files for free-as-in-beer over the Internet, ..."
My goodness, there's a lot of presumtion in the way you said that. Are you a spin doctor for the RIAA or MPAA?
... what's to prevent some enterprising soul to retransmit this interesting video rather than the original content to his downstream clients...
