P2PV

P2PV, or Peer-to-Peer Video, refers to a decentralized video streaming technology that leverages the computing power and bandwidth of individual users to distribute video content. Unlike traditional client-server models, where a central server hosts and streams video to multiple clients, P2PV utilizes a network of peers to share and deliver video content. Each peer in the network acts as both a client and a server, downloading and uploading video segments to and from other peers. This approach can significantly reduce the load on central servers, improve scalability, and enhance the overall efficiency of video distribution. P2PV systems often employ advanced algorithms to optimize peer selection, manage video segment distribution, and ensure high-quality streaming. Examples of P2PV technologies include BitTorrent-based video streaming and certain implementations of WebRTC for peer-to-peer video communication. The technology has applications in live streaming, video-on-demand services, and peer-to-peer video conferencing, offering a more decentralized and resilient alternative to traditional video streaming methods.
