Feature research on unstructured P2P multicast video streaming

Abstract

Many potential safety problems result from the rapid development of P2P IPTV business, and the foundation for effectively managing the business is to accurately identify unstructured P2P multicast video streaming. In this paper, four flow features are proposed to distinguish unstructured P2P multicast video streaming from P2P file streaming by analyzing the working principle of unstructured P2P multicast video streaming, which provides a basis for detecting and identifying the unstructured P2P multicast video streaming. The experiment proved that each feature of the four could almost linearly separate the two types of network traffic, each accuracy was more than 87%.
