Comment on Show HN: BemTV – Hybrid CDN/P2P Architecture for HLS Broadcasts

Comments

Great work. I'm always excited by attempts to marry the centralized nature of the web with all we've learnt about P2P. Best of both worlds. Just gave it a try. The video was a bit choppy for me, on a ~3Mbps connection, but I'd like to see how it works with a larger swarm (it's remained fairly stable at 8). I'll take some time to look at the code, too, though it's likely beyond my immediate grasp :)

thank you! I still need to calibrate when a peer gives up to receive by p2p and goes to CDN, but it seems it's working for some swarms with low RTT. Regarding the code, I bet you'll not have problems to understand but feel free to ask me anything you want.
