Title:

P2P 2.0: Copyright, Streaming, and Circumventing Chinese Censorship

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Adam Fisk, LittleShoot LLC
Description:
HTTP-based content distribution is inefficient and expensive. How can a new generation of P2P applications revolutionize browser-based digital media distribution? How can you use them on your site to give your users high-resolution video for free? How can digital media creators use these new tools to reach new audiences?
Questions
Answered:
  1. How can you integrate P2P distribution on your site to give your users something they've never seen before?
  2. How can you save money and improve your site with P2P?
  3. Why isn't P2P used more?
  4. How do architectural decisions we make now affect the future of our democracy?
  5. Who wins and who loses with a centralized, HTTP-based content distribution system?
  6. Why is HTTP an inefficient protocol for distributing media?
  7. Why is P2P better?

I'm for it. I think it shd have more than just a tech bent though. Someone shd address content and format. Joost has had trouble with VoD. The Chinese P2Pers are kicking it with streaming. What's the scoop?

I'm looking forward to hearing about how to make p2p technology more accessible to users, and utilitarian to mainstream web-based applications.

@Drew The VoD stuff is of course tricky with P2P because you need to replicate content to a lot of nodes within seconds to still be considered "live." There are different approaches to approaching live distribution with p2p. Vanilla BitTorrent uses a "rarest chunk first" downloading scheme, for example, but most clients that do quasi-live stuff do sliding rarest chunk first, or basically downloading the rarest chunk within such and such small window that could still be considered live.

To me, though, live stuff just isn't a great fit for p2p for the obvious reasons a replication delay. This panel will be more focused on how new approaches can make it incredibly easy for web sites to integrate p2p -- giving web sites just another tool to create killer content without forcing users to open external apps and such. This is what we're doing at LittleShoot and what other companies like Pando have developed, basically integrating efficient p2p distribution with the existing web. LittleShoot also does all sorts of other neat stuff with streaming downloads, but nothing particular for "live" content.

As a UX person I have to comment that, although SxSW is awesome, it is not intuitive how to vote for this panel.

@Adam
"To me, though, live stuff just isn't a great fit for p2p for the obvious reasons a replication delay."

This is simply in the box thinking. Utilising STUN/TURN and ICE along with SIP and SDP with Media Line support for conferencing and RTSP gives you a very fast and very workable "live" p2p streaming protocol. The reasons I used RTSP are quite clear, I did this with SIP years ago and it worked very well "live", capture/render CPU/GPU cost aside. Using these tools, RTSP stream conferencing(H.323) and a novel algorithm to split large groups into small conferences your only limited by your imagination, not replication delay. :-)

I don't seem to agree that HTTP-based content distribution is not efficient. But I do agree that it can be expensive.
