List Of P2P Delivery Networks

Tuesday, April 24, 2007

The list of providers who are selling P2P based content delivery services to distribute video continues to grow rapidly. I am trying to create a comprehensive list of all the P2P distribution networks in the market today so I can better compare the solutions they have to offer. Below is the list of P2P video delivery networks that I currently track. I know there are others out there I forgot or that I don't know about and I would be interested to hear from others who they would add to this list. I am primarily interested in those providers delivering video as opposed to P2P technologies that specialize in audio. I've also separated those providers who have just a P2P offering and those who offer both a P2P and regular CDN offering.

P2P Offering Only

P2P & CDN Offering

Who's missing from this list?

Please add GridNetworks to your list of P2P Delivery Networks. We like to think of our GridCasting Video Delivery Services as "managed P2P" that can stream full screen, DVD and HD quality video to broadband connected users worldwide. In addition to offering dramatically lower video delivery costs, our technology virtually eliminates re-buffering.

One more clarification...the GridCasting Video Delivery Service is actually a hybrid solution that combines a world-class CDN with Managed P2P technology. In other words, we extend the capabilities of a hardware dependent CDN architecture using managed P2P software technology.

My good friend Yaron over at Pando just reminded me they are not a P2P Delivery company.

However, their app allows you to deliver large media files directly to other Pando users. It's not a CDN and they don't sell it by the transfer but it's a very cool app and I imagine could be integrated with CDN services at some point [hint hint : ]

From their site:

"Each day Pando transfers over 250,000 packages between people in over 150 countries, effortlessly coordinating over 60TB of traffic a day."

BitGravity isn't a P2P network at all; they are a CDN service (with a twist), but don't do any P2P delivery.

Please add Peering Portal to your list. The company offers only P2P streaming software, they call it Grid Delivery software. They also insist the company has the most wide range of customers in the world including VoD, AoD, and UGC. Because the company is in Korea it is not known as much as BitTorrent. www.peeringprotal.com
