Multiple Description Coding Based Video Streaming On JXTA Peer-to-Peer Network

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a permanent infrastructure which links computers in a small office with copper wires or a P2P network is also network on a much grander scale in which special protocols and applications set up direct relationships among users over the Internet. Video streaming applications have newly attracted a large number of participants in a distribution network. Traditional client-server based video streaming solutions sustain precious bandwidth provision rate on the server. In this paper, the system has flexible multiple description coding method which improves the frame loss possibilities over independent paths. It introduces concealment technique at the receiver and to conceal the lost frames more effectively. Experimental results show that, the approach attains reasonable quality of video performance over P2P network. The paper work is carried out on the JXTA framework of java platform. The JXTA is used to build the P2P overlay network. The handling of the video data is performed using the JMF and Fobs4JMF libraries of the java language.
