About Live Streaming

Hybrid P2P Live Streaming

Velocix Hybrid-P2P Live Streaming combines the best of two worlds: Traditional streaming from a globally deployed network of streaming media servers together with the innovative, scalable and economic distribution features of P2P. This results in a live streaming service that provides unparalleled performance at groundbreaking price levels. You get all the reliability, control and security you'd expect from a managed high performance delivery network, together with the scalability and distribution efficiencies of P2P.

For live events streamed from a hybrid-P2P network, audience members receive the stream from multiple network media servers and 'peers' in parallel. In addition, they contribute to the success of the event by sharing the stream with others in the audience... all in real time! This community distribution process is managed in real-time by sophisticated control and routing algorithms hosted on the Velocix Network, ensuring required service levels and an uninterrupted experience for the entire audience.
