We've built a fully functional peering solution at Kontiki and have millions of users (all on corporate networks). If you're interested in that sort of stuff come join us - we're hiring. http://www.kontiki.com/products/enterprise-content-delivery-...
Is this like StreamNation or Put.io?
PPSP's key features are:
- live streaming using an innovative method that can be easily secured
- optimised for fast start
- using a standard protocol (UDP) for maximum carrier friendliness
- efficient storage of hash tables via binmap
- use of merkle trees for verifying content without needing the whole hash table to be transferred to every client
- LEDBAT for playing fair with other bandwidth on the client connections
More details on these https://github.com/skunkwerks/swirl/blob/feature/docs/doc/me... and also in the IETF spec http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ppsp-peer-protocol
With VLC, we've looked at various P2P video streaming technologies, like Tribler, Goalbit or Peercast. But so far, nothing actually worked correctly... If something standard (or close enough) actually emerges, and is not insane to integrate, this would change a lot of things :)

It's a VLC branch adding BitTorrent support, which is a pretty slick addition. I've not been able to find their source code (wiki is down) but it looks decent.
This is neat, but I think if peercasting software which is "good enough" can be built on top of WebRTC data connections (mandatory encryption and forced TCP are at least two drawbacks) I think it will win in terms of public adoption if is inferior in other technical aspects simply because people will end up using it without knowing it.
BTW lately they are probably switching to use SCTP for data streaming. Encryption is still mandatory.

What do you think of Ace Player? It's a VLC branch adding BitTorrent support, which is a pretty slick addition. I've not been able to find their source code (wiki is down) but it looks decent.
It would be amazing if gaming broadcasters could stream directly to their subscribers/followers, with very little latency (not the 30 second video lag Twitch adds). Broadcaster monetizing could be tricky, but definitely doable.
Please please please let this lead to a P2P version of Twitch.tv. It would be amazing if gaming broadcasters could stream directly to their subscribers/followers, with very little latency (not the 30 second video lag Twitch adds). Broadcaster monetizing could be tricky, but definitely doable.
