Peer-to-peer streaming with Nimble Streamer

Nimble Streamer can be used as an origin for various streaming scenarios. One of them is HTTP peer-to-peer streaming. This technology allows off-loading origin server or delivery network by exchanging media data between viewers.

Nimble Streamer has a number of features that are required by P2P networks to handle Nimble as an origin. They are the following:
  • Choosing the number of segments in the playlist - it's part of common live streaming setup per-server and per-application.
  • Specifying segment length, this is also set up globally and per-application.
  • Segments may be obtained via byte range HTTP requests.
  • OPTIONS request is also supported.
  • CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) headers support which includes headers like Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, Access-Control-Allow-Methods etc. Read this article for setup details.

You can easily combine P2P infrastructure and traditional streaming. Nimble Streamer works perfectly in both worlds.
