Icecast Streaming Media Server

[xanxion]

Hi icecast users.

i read on the internet, that icecast uses p2p.
Is this really true?

I tried icecast along time ago. But it didnt seem to use any p2p structure.


Any help on this i greatly epreciated!

icecast is not p2p although you can setup a large number of icecasts in a net or ring to load share.

There's also streamerp2p.com ... and that client can log into an Icecast stream for its source data.

Neither program really seems to be much in development at this point, unfortunately.

StreamerP2P is not open-source (P2P radio is).

It's rumoured that the author of StreamerP2P is working on a new version.

Another streaming P2P client is under active development - based on the bittorrent protocol.

I hope they come up with an audio-only capability for this new application.
