We calculate a uniform service price for every possible peer-to-peer distribution tree and identify the optimal transmission mechanism under different cost structures.engrestrictedAccessOptimal peer-to-peer network for streaming multimedia broadcastarticle10816617400059163790002010.1016/j.mathsocsci.2020.06.003Peer-to-peer networksCommunication networksEconomics of the internetVideo streamingPricing
