| Abstract | User interactions such as seeks and pauses are widely supported by existing Peer-to-Peer Video-on-Demand (P2P VoD) streaming systems. Their effect on the streaming system, however, has not been well studied. Seeks cause peers to skip part of the video, making them stay in the system for shorter time, and thus contribute less. On the other hand, only part of the video is downloaded due to seeks, reducing peers' demand from the system. It is unclear which factor dominates the effect of seeks on the streaming system. Pauses during playback, on one hand, allow peers to stay longer in the system and upload more content. When interleaved with seeks, however, long pauses may increase peers' demand unnecessarily as peers may download content that will eventually be skipped by subsequent forward seeks. The collective effect of seeks and pauses, together with the known random peer departure, is unintuitive and needs to be addressed properly so as to understand the effect of human factors on the streaming system performance. In this article, we develop an analytical model to both qualitatively and quantitatively study the effect of seeks and pauses on mesh-based P2P VoD streaming systems, in particular, the effect on the server cost. Our model can help in understanding how human factors such as seeks and pauses affect the streaming system performance, tuning a P2P VoD system towards better system performance and stability, and providing a framework for capacity planning. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
