Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Streaming

Peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming is a method of sharing live or on-demand video content directly between users without relying on a centralized server. When you watch a P2P stream, your device not only receives data but also uploads parts of the stream to other viewers. This decentralized approach distributes the load among many users, reducing server costs and potentially improving streaming quality. It’s similar to a group sharing files directly with each other, enhancing efficiency and scalability, especially during high demand or large audiences.
