Abacast Compared to Peer-to-Peer
Not like classic peer-to-peer Each user is in constant contact with the server for
real-time QoS monitoring Real-time redirection (no stale peer lists) Users do not know anything about each other Users do not store anything for each other Users are only distribute signal when actively
connected If the user needs their upstream bandwidth they
always have priority over Abacast distribution of the stream
