Not scalable Multicasting Special network support needed Interactivity is not supported BitTorrent Unpredictable download order ? Cannot start before you finish downloading Interactivity is not supported What is P2PMoD? It is a peer-to-peer (P2P) based interactive movie streaming system that brings movies to your home Scalable Low server bandwidth requirement Decentralized control Support for user interactivity Resilience to node/link failure Short playback delay Why is P2PMoD important?

Peers will stay on the same slot once started playing, unless user seeks to another positi
