The Peer to Peer Streaming Peer Protocol (PPSPP) is captured by RFC 7574. It creates a torrent like swarm optimized for the P2P delivery of LIVE video.
In Livepeer's first implementation, it uses a relay based approach to pass video downstream from a publisher to a subscriber, but this is susceptible to churn and limited bandwidth at a relay node. Using PPSPP, Livepeer can be far more robust and performant under varying network conditions.
