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

Figure 3

Pathwise metrics: PPLive aggregated received rate at (top) and its breakdown between , and Internet hosts (bottom) for varying IP hop distance (a) and RTT delay (b). Profiles of the IP hop distance and RTT delay impairments are reported as solid black lines directly in the plot and refer to the right -axis. Here, PPLive shows no awareness of IP distance and a mild sensitiveness towards Round Trip Time.
