Client/server media streaming systems exhibit streaming limitations when number of clients rises and the server can no longer sustain the upload load. At first, IP Multicast was proposed as an alternative solution to this problem but its deployment brought many practical issues in scalability and deployment that prevented it from wider use. Recently, a new promising technique emerged which is cost effective, easy to deploy and can support thousands of simultaneous users. It’s a peer to peer network of logically connected clients which form an application level overlay network on top of the physical network. This new paradigm brings numerous advantages, but also a lot of open issues that need to be resolved. This paper exposes the fundamental characteristics of p2p live video streaming systems, gives a survey of p2p video streaming applications and presents a novel modeling framework for performance analysis of such systems as our main goal in future research.
