Abstract :
This paper presents a possible solution for the introduction of a complementary distribution chain into the broadcast environment. In the described scenario, personal video recorders with local storage are networked into an ad-hoc home-to-home network based on an emerging peer-to-peer protocol that enables broadcast as well as home-produced content sharing. The paper presents the current system architecture as conceived within a consortium working on the Share it! project.
