Ballot Text

Technical Summary

This document presents a survey of some of the most popular Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming applications on the Internet. The main selection criteria have been popularity and availability of information on operation details at writing time. In doing this, selected applications are not reviewed as a whole, but they are reviewed with main focus on the signaling and control protocol used to establish and maintain overlay connections among peers and to advertise and download streaming content.

Working Group Summary

There were several technical and editorial comments raised during WGLC; however, none were particularly tough and authors came up with the text that resolves these issues thus consensus was achieved in all cases.

Document Quality

This document has enrolled some sophisticated authors during the update process for about several years. The draft has undergone two rounds of WGLCs and espically been carefully reviewed by the former PPSP co-chair, Stefano Previdi. During the WGLC, many solid contents on Tribler and QQLive survey, as well as the seurity considerations section have been supplemented. 
As a survey draft, the draft doesn’t have any problems on implementations, MIB or new Media Type.
