Abstract
A method for actively allocating available bandwidth to consumer nodes by a resource node delivering time-sensitive multimedia content in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. The method comprises performing a check if the resource node can allocate bandwidth to at least one additional consumer node from the consumer nodes; selecting at least one consumer node from a list of consumer nodes addressable by the resource node; and sending an availability notification to each of the selected at least one consumer node from the list of consumer nodes.
