SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING BUFFERING IN PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) BASED STREAMING SERVICE AND SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING APPLICATION FOR PROCESSING BUFFERING IN CLIENT

摘要

A system to manage a buffering of a data stream for a peer client in a peer-to-peer based streaming service includes a buffering control unit including a processor configured to control pieces of the data stream to be buffered in a first buffer of the peer client, and to control one or more outputted pieces to be buffered in a second buffer of the peer client, the outputted pieces being outputted from the first buffer for play back of the data stream. A method for managing a buffering includes storing pieces of the data stream in a first buffer; storing one or more outputted pieces of the data stream in a second buffer; and transmitting one or more pieces stored in the first buffer or the second buffer.
