A Hybrid Approach to Assess the Network Awareness of P2P-TV Applications

Figure 2

Pathwise metrics: PPLive aggregated received rate at (top) and its breakdown between , and Internet hosts (bottom) for varying bottleneck bandwidth (a) and packet loss (b). Profiles of the bottleneck bandwidth and packet loss impairments are reported as solid black lines directly in the plot and refer to the right -axis. PPLive shows a great sensitivity towards path capacity variations while it reacts only to very high loss rates.
