ABSTRACT
In this paper the open-source NextSharePC demo is presented, which allows to distribute layered video content over P2P networks. The cost-efficient distribution of multimedia content over P2P networks has become very popular in recent years. Furthermore, multimedia content is consumed on a variety of devices, which requires to provide content in different qualities. By distributing layered content over P2P networks the NextSharePC demo provides both, cost-efficient distribution and a video quality suitable for various devices. The different modules of NextSharePC and their usage are described in detail in this paper. To the authors' knowledge the NextSharePC demo is the first open-source P2P implementation with full SVC support.
