Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing admission control in a peer-to-peer video-on-demand system are described including determining if there is sufficient bandwidth to support leading sub-clip streaming for a new request from a video playback device, determining if there is sufficient bandwidth to admit the request without sacrificing quality of service for existing requests, accepting admission of the new request if both determining acts are positive and rejecting admission of the new request if either of the determining acts are negative. Also described is an apparatus for providing content to a video playback device in a peer-to-peer video-on-demand system including an admission control unit and a data engine component.
