Hi, Ko, I believe that introduing distributed IPTV technique is a quite interesting and challenging work. But I would like to suggest that the use case and characteristic of each distributed service is the first thing to think about before adopting them to RELOAD overlay. IMO, unlike VoIP, distributed (or P2P?) IPTV is often called a "community" who involves many intermediate nodes (or relay in your draft) to share media. These nodes may be subject to highly dynamical behavior (e.g. churn). That means each receiver would contact with Channel Manager on the RELOAD overlay frequently to ask for media path adaptation, which in turn places unexpectable load on RELOAD overlay. Another case is VoD, where each receiver would ask for transmission of any piece of media on any time. So my suggestion is to consider how to use RELOAD overlay properly. Which parts of distributed service can be managed by RELOAD overlay? If scalability is not a critical issue, why not use centralized server? E.g. limited number of channels can be managed by some centralized servers - just like trackers in PPLive system. Would it be better to utilize peers themselves to exchange content information such as which IPTV media pieces is stored in which peers between each other? Just for your information, you can also refer to PPSP mailing list where a lot of P2P streaming use cases have been discussed and standardization requirements will be addressed.
