This article carries out a competitive analysis between BitTorrent-like algorithms for interactive video-on-demand streaming over mobile ad hoc networks. To this end, we herein mainly delve into five recent proposals of this kind, and assess the operational download (DO) and the discontinuity-time (DT) performance metrics in different scenarios by means of simulations, considering two client interactivity profiles, two mobility models, and various network sizes. Although final results indicate that all five proposals may provide suitable system quality of service and client quality of experience in certain scenarios, the one named as BitTorrent Interactive Broadcast - Network is overall the most competitive one. For instance, compared to other literature proposals, it may provide optimizations of up to 106% and 86% at the DO and DT metrics, respectively, thus confirming its attractive performance.

MANET 上交互式视频点播流的类 BitTorrent 算法的竞争分析


本文对移动自组织网络上交互式视频点播流的类似 BitTorrent 的算法之间进行了竞争分析。为此，我们在此主要深入研究最近的五个此类提案，并通过模拟的方式评估不同场景下的操作下载（DO）和不连续时间（DT）性能指标，考虑两个客户端交互配置文件、两个移动性模型和各种网络规模。尽管最终结果表明，所有五个提案都可以在某些场景下提供合适的系统服务质量和客户端体验质量，但名为“BitTorrent 交互式广播 - 网络”的提案总体上最具竞争力。例如，与其他文献建议相比，它可以在 DO 和 DT 指标上分别提供高达 106% 和 86% 的优化，从而证实了其有吸引力的性能。
