Abstract:
This document specifies the Peer-to-Peer Streaming Protocol--Tracker
Protocol (PPSP-TP), an application-layer control (signaling) protocol
for the exchange of meta information between trackers and peers, such
as initial offer/request of participation in multimedia content
streaming, content information, peer lists and reports of activity
and status. The specification outlines the architecture of the
protocol and its functionality, and describes message flows, message
processing instructions, message formats, formal syntax and
semantics. The PPSP Tracker Protocol enables cooperating peers to
form content streaming overlay networks to support near real-time
Structured Media content (audio, video, associated text/metadata)
delivery, such as adaptive multi-rate, layered (scalable) and multi-
view (3D), in live, time-shifted and on-demand modes.
