STREAMING SERVICE SERVER AND STREAMING SERVICE SYSTEM

摘要

A streaming service server includes means for bidding prices from a plurality of super peers and means for determining at least of the plurality of the super peers based on the received bidding prices such that for a given streaming service, a total number of consumers serviced by the plurality of the super peers satisfies a predetermined criterion. Therefore, the streaming service server may determine at least one super peer in a consideration with the number of consumers served by a plurality of super peers for a given service.
