P2P for mobile providers

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for arranging a distribution tree in a Peer To Peer P2P streaming system. The system comprises a bootstrapping server (10) that creates an external distribution tree based on received register messages from participating operator external clients (2, 3, 4). The method comprises the following steps: —Configuring an operator controlled node (7) to be a regular node in the created external distribution tree. Configuring the operator controlled node (7) to be a parent node for participating operator internal clients (1, 5, 6).

1. Method for arranging a distribution tree in a Peer To Peer (P2P) streaming system comprising a bootstrapping server that creates an external distribution tree based on received register messages from participating operator external clients, the method comprising the following steps:
configuring an operator controlled node that is part of a core network, to be a regular node in the created external distribution tree created by the bootstrapping server which is outside of and networked to the core network; and configuring the operator controlled node to be a parent node for participating operator internal clients, wherein configuring the operator that is part of the core network controlled node to be a parent node comprises: capturing register messages from the participating internal clients at the operator controlled node that is part of the core network, wherein the register messages are addressed to the bootstrapping server which is outside of the core network, and replying to the internal clients with a reply that imitates a reply from the bootstrapping server which is outside of and networked to the core network, wherein the reply indicates the operator controlled node as parent node for the internal clients.
