While the topology of overlay changes from traditional tree to mesh, there still remains a lack of research on how different topologies under different physical networks will impact on the performance of streaming media transmission. This paper will fill up this gap, and present an overlay topology choosing strategy. We build tree as well as mesh overlay topology based on different network topologies, which are gained from GT-ITM using the Transit-Stub model. We use TORM and PowerP2P as the instances of tree and mesh topology transport protocols respectively. We analyze and compare the simulation results got through NS2, find out the relationship between delay, throughput and the distributing of the nodes, the overlay topology we choose. Based on these results, this paper proposes a strategy on how to choose an overlay topology when the distributing of the nodes is known. It can be a guide when someone wants to deploy a transmission of the streaming media on a network.
