other peers watching the same channel. However for less popular channels,
users can experience difficulties getting smooth playback. Therefore, adap-
tively employing different technologies (e.g., combining P2P with CDN), to
get better QoS is becoming a new trend.
Third, the increasing amount of P2P traffic over the whole network
causes network congestion. Research about developing mechanisms urg-
ing the cooperation between ISPs and P2P streaming applications has been
conducted.
Even though there are still these open issues, pure P2P streaming systems
are increasingly popular. Much research has been conducted to improve the
QoS of P2P streaming. There are also new trends combining different tech-
nologies to increase the users' streaming experience, and P2P streaming will
continue to play a crucial role in them.
