![]() ![]() With his efforts he aims to develop a piece of code superior to all other streaming solutions on the market today. The release of the application is still a few months away, but Cohen has shown a demo exclusively to TorrentFreak. StreamBitTorrent was the first widely adopted technology that made it possible to download large videos online in a timely fashion. Here’s the technology’s official description: BitTorrent Live is a powerful new web-based live streaming technology. It?s needless to say that BitTorrent inventor Bram Cohen unleashed a small revolution here, even though he never envisioned the technology being used to swap video. As Sun announced, the protocol update will be the result of a massive evolution of peer-to-peer live-streaming technology that has been in research and development for over a decade. However, a key characteristic of the young Internet is that it constantly evolves, and in 2005 video streaming was brought to the mainstream thanks to YouTube. In the spirit of further merging the TRON ecosystem, the new DLive will thus have a deep integration with BitTorrent to create synergies that will benefit. This online video streaming revolution has hugely increased the use of bandwidth by individual consumers. So as we near the 10th anniversary of BitTorrent its inventor Bram Cohen is finalizing a new protocol, this time aimed at P2P-live streaming.Īt the same time it?s also resulting in huge bandwidth bills for streaming sites. Although P2P-live streaming is not something new per se, Cohen thinks that his implementation will set itself apart from competitors with both its efficiency and extremely low latency. He further explained that the BitTorrent protocol had to be redone to make it compatible with live streams, ?including ditching TCP and using congestion control algorithms different from the ones we?ve made for UTP?Doing live properly is a hard problem, and while I could have a working thing relatively quickly, I?m doing everything the ?right? way,? Bram Cohen told TorrentFreak last year when he announced his plans. ![]() Simply put, the BitTorrent protocol is a P2P file sharing protocol. In the months that followed Cohen figured out most of this complex puzzle and the technology is now mature enough to show to the public. Brief intro to P2P networks P2P stands for peer to peer.įirst, let's look into what peer-to-peer networks are before understanding how BitTorrent operates. ![]() Although there?s still a lot of secrecy around the technical details, the BitTorrent team agreed to show TorrentFreak a demo in anticipation of the official release later this year. ![]()
