Abstract:
The present invention a method for managing a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an overlay management server, which controls the distribution of content on the P2P network which consists of at least one peer, receives distribution control information from a content provider server for generating the distribution control information in order to control the distribution of the content and controls the operation of the one peer on the P2P network on the basis of the received distribution control information. According to the present invention, a content provider can manage the P2P network by controlling the distribution of the content.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A peer receiving data by using a peer-to-peer (P2P) network is provided to increase the resource efficiency of the P2P network. CONSTITUTION: A control part (410) divides data into multiple data pieces. The control part divides each of the divided data pieces into multiple data blocks. The control part determines the number of data blocks to receive from a corresponding peer by considering the uplink bandwidth of the corresponding peer connected to a P2P network. A reception part (430) receives the determined number of data blocks from the corresponding peer. The reception part reconfigures the data pieces and the data.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A multimedia content processing apparatus and multimedia content transmission and reception method thereof are provided to minimize influence on a multimedia streaming service by analyzing messages related to multimedia content. CONSTITUTION: A neighbor peer processing unit(220) establishes a connection relationship between multimedia content and other peer in a P2P(Peer to Peer) network. A beneficiary peer processing unit(240) transmits a doner approval request message to other peer which includes the connection relationship. When a doner connection relationship which is able to receive the multimedia content is established with other peer through the doner approval request message, a content processing unit(250) processes the multimedia content received through the doner connection relationship.
