we applied ALM(application layermulticast) into HDTV live system
design and implement a multimedia live prototype system with large concurrency
high efficiency and low delay. We also created a distributed time-shifting algorithm
which was integrated in the system in order to allow users to watch both live and delayed TV programs. This prototype system was put into large-scale testing formore than one month in Fudan Campus during World Cup 2006. The result shows that it is a good solution to output bandwidth bottleneck at server side and long delay of normal P2P technology at the client. The maximum amount of online users was over 460. It also provides a good solution to HDTV live system
which is the focus of National Science and Technology Department.
