摘要：

While application-layer multicast (ALM) can reduce latency and permit deployment in networks without network-layer multicast, often, it does not leverage application-specific behavior. For example, the existing ALM-based peer-to-peer (P2P) conferencing systems route media packets based only on bandwidth and on transmission delay without considering P2P conferencing specific behavior and varying mixing capabilities of participating peers. We propose an enhanced hybrid ALM-based P2P conferencing architecture that can leverage participating peers with different capabilities. We also present a three-step algorithm to construct such a hybrid ALM-based P2P conference. We have built a prototype for our architecture. Results from our prototype show that our approach is more scalable than the existing ALM-based P2P conferencing systems.
