Abstract

Recently, P2P (Peer-to-Peer) streaming systems have attracted great attention. In P2P streaming systems, streaming data such as video and audio are divided into a number of small pieces for efficient data distribution. This approach allows peers to collect the pieces from each other while playing the streaming data. Our investigation into ecological systems suggests that the piece collection in P2P streaming systems is similar to the bee's nectar collection and that their nectar collecting behavior can be used as a model in designing piece collection methods for P2P streaming systems. In this paper, we propose data collection methods for P2P streaming systems inspired by bee's nectar collecting behavior. There are several types of bees in the bee ecology, which exhibit different behavior, and accordingly, we propose three different methods inspired by three typical bee types; those are honey, bumble, and carpenter bees. Suitable environments for the three methods may differ and are investigated in this paper.
