P2P Multicast Library
|
Welcome!
|
Welcome to the PML project page. The P2P Multicast Library (PML)
provides an open source library to support resource sharing using IP multicast
in P2P networks. This project, hosted by
Sourceforge, is developing a software library to aid the integration of
the technology in today's and tomorrow's p2p applications. A first alpha
release is available which provides a proof of concept as a stand-alone
application under Linux.

Technology
overview
|
PML will adopt a set of technologies to support reliable and scalable
IP multicast for P2P networks. A quick overview of these technologies:
-
Forward Error Correction through Reed-Solomon & LDPC codes
-
Partial File Download & Sharing through Tigertrees
-
Single Source Multicast to scale to global multicasting
How these technologies can be used to allow resource sharing using IP multicast
in P2P networks on the Internet is explained in the Advocacy
section. The Technology section provides
in an-depth discussion on these technologies and how these technologies could
be used by the P2P applications.
