Reasearch Activities

My PhD research activity focused on P2P systems for video streaming.

I was involved with two main subject areas: measurements and mathematical modelling.

As regards measurements, I focused my attention on a small, mesh-pull P2P platform: StreamerOne. On this system, I performed several tests in order to better understand its functioning and to emphasize its main criticalities. I carried out two kinds of measurements: client-side, using a network analyzer, and network wide, by analyzing the server log files to have a more complete system view. These measurements allowed me to determine the main features of the examined small overlay. I presented such preliminary outcomes in January, at a national conference in Italy, in the article entitled “Network-Wide Quality in P2P Video Streaming Systems: Models and Measurements”.

As for the second topic, I monitored the experimental efficiency exhibited by the above mentioned system in different situations and I contributed to formalize a sufficiently general model that explains the relationship between the overall system efficiency and the number of connected users. In particular, the analytical model justifies the rapid decrease of system efficiency when a sudden increase in the number of connected peers occurs. I refined this mathematical model, in order to also capture system efficiency recovery after the initial decrease. I additionally worked on the development of new modules for the P2P Java based simulator named PeerSim.

Further research activity that I aim to pursue in the very next future is the development of solutions for video quality differentiation of the broadcasted video stream. The idea is to create two user classes and to devise a video distribution mechanism that provides high video quality to peers that contribute with a greater amount of upload bandwidth, whereas peers that don’t contribute in upload or contribute very little are guaranteed a lower video quality. This represents a possible countermeasure to limit the negative impact of free riders on system performance.
