Peer to peer distribution
The afternoon of sunday 18 february, the last day of the Open Video Libre workshop, Jan Gerber presented several online projects for sharing video. Amongst others, we had a look at P2P distribution, Democracy Player and V2V.
BitTorrent
BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the whole of the corresponding costs of hardware, hosting and bandwidth resources. Instead of the distributor alone servicing each recipient, under BitTorrent the recipients each also supply data to newer recipients, thus significantly reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source as well as providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence upon the original distributor.
