Abstract
The demand of delivering streaming media contents in the Internet has become increasingly high for scientific, educational, and commercial applications. This chapter first overviews three representative Internet technologies for delivering streaming media contents, and discusses the merits and limits of each. This chapter emphasizes on peer-to-peer streaming technology by presenting a design and its performance evaluation of a scalable and reliable media proxy system that effectively utilizes P2P sharing among media clients.
