Abstract
This chapter elaborates on emerging advances and solutions to introduce the convergence of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) mechanisms into interactive broadcasting systems, enhanced with IP Multimedia Subsystem capabilities. The proposed solutions enable for the proper users’ access on P2P-based services from dispersed locations, as well as the deployment of a novel users’ ecosystem to gear-up new businesses and increase revenue prospects. The P2P-based network architecture is validated through several experimental tests, performed on an actual prototype providing real transmission and reception of data. The experimental results justify the effectiveness of the solution and indentify open issues for further investigation and experimentation.
