TL;DR
This paper studies some popular video content delivery mechanisms and characterize them by measurements to study the user-perceived quality of experience (QoE).
Abstract
Television over the Internet (IPTV) is regarded as the killer application for next generation networks (NGN). While the ITU is currently moving toward the standardized of IPTV, several existing applications like Joost and Zattoo are currently already providing a large amount of video content to Internet users. In this paper we study some popular video content delivery mechanisms and characterize them by measurements to study the user-perceived quality of experience (QoE).

It is found that the links to related videos generated by uploaders' choices form a small-world network, which suggests that the videos have strong correlations with each other, and creates opportunities for developing novel caching or peer-to-peer distribution schemes to efficiently deliver videos to end users.

36 Citations2006Thomas Silverston, Olivier Fourmaux
It is thought P2P IPTV applications will be massively used in the future and it is very important to study the effect they will have on the network, so a large amount of data is collected to study users/applications behavior for P1P live streaming system and their impact on the traffic network.

11 Citations2007Sachin Agarwal
The findings highlight several network provisioning issues that accentuate the difference between P2P video multicast and traditional IP multicast from a quality-of-service perspective, and illustrate how commercial grade P2p video multicasts may require additional bandwidth resources through bandwidth augmenting server-farms.
