Additionally, the distribution of scalable content enables the consumption of the content in a quality suited for the available bandwidth and the capabilities of the end-user devices. Thus, the distribution of scalable content over Peer-to-Peer networks is a very actual research topic. This paper presents an architecture for the distribution of scalable content in a fully distributed Peer-to-Peer network. The architectural description includes how the scalable layers of the content are mapped to the pieces distributed in the Peer-to-Peer system and detailed descriptions of the producer- and consumer-site architecture of the system. The presented system is to our knowledge the first open-source Peer-to-Peer network with full Scalable Video Coding support.}, doi = {10.1109/MMEDIA.2010.17}, keywords = {P2P networks;consumer-site architecture;distributed peer-to-peer network;multimedia distribution;open-source peer-to-peer network;scalable video coding;server-client distribution;image coding;multimedia computing;peer-to-peer computing;}, language = {EN}, location = {Athens, Greece}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/MMEDIA'10_Eberhard.pdf}, talkdate = {2010.06.14}, talktype = {registered}, url = {http://www.iaria.org/conferences2010/MMEDIA10.html} }
