Share 3 methods:
1. Hybrid architecture (CDN+P2P): - Use CDN to process backbone traffic, and edge nodes distribute through P2P to reduce the pressure on the central server (such as LivePeer trying to combine blockchain and P2P). - Platforms such as Youku have experimented with such solutions, but they need to weigh the cost and effect.
2. Protocol optimization: - Sliced transmission: Divide the streaming media into small pieces and improve efficiency through multi-path transmission. - Dynamic priority: Dynamically adjust the data allocation strategy according to node bandwidth and latency. - Buffering and preloading: Allow users to tolerate higher latency in exchange for more stable transmission (such as HLS/DASH protocol ideas).
3. Decentralized network exploration: - Projects such as IPFS and BitTorrent Live have tried real-time streaming, but are limited by technical maturity and ecological support. - Web3 projects (such as Theta Network) combine token incentives to encourage nodes to contribute bandwidth, which may promote development.
