A method and apparatus are described for scheduling content delivery in a peer-to-peer network, including receiving a message from a peer, classifying the received message, storing the classified message in one of a plurality of queues based on the classification, generating responses to messages based on a priority of the queue in which the classified message is stored and transmitting content to all peers in the peer-to-peer network. Also described are a method and apparatus for scheduling content delivery in a peer-to-peer network, including receiving one of a message and content from one of a content source server and a peer, classifying the received message, storing the classified message in one of a plurality of queues based on the classification, storing the received content, generating responses to messages based on a priority of the queue in which the classified message is stored and transmitting content to all other peers in the peer-to-peer network.

Queue-based adaptive chunk scheduling for peer-to-peer live streaming

A HCPS (hierarchically clustered P2P streaming system) comprising peers grouped into clusters and hierarchies. The HCPS actively balances the uploading capabilities among clusters and executes an optimal scheduling algorithm within each cluster to ensure that system resources are optimally utilized. The HCPS comprises an architecture which can be used in practical applications, yet can achieve the streaming rate close to the theoretical upper bound.
