HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) protocols have become the de-facto solutions to deliver video over the Internet, mainly due to their ability to limit video freezing and thus enhance consumers' Quality of Experience (QoE). Nevertheless, they do not have the possibility to improve the actual delivered video quality, limited by the available throughput between the delivering server and the client. Compared with this single-server approach, multiple-server streaming and P2P streaming ooers the opportunity to obtain enhanced QoE by beneeting from expanded bandwidth, link diversity and reliability in distributed streaming infrastructures. We present a prototype for a hybrid P2P/multi-server quality-adaptive evolving HAS-compliant streaming solution, simultaneously using several servers and peers, and trading oo the server infrastructure capacities and QoE gains.
