Peer-to-peer (P2P) video-on-demand (VoD) is a popular Internet service for a large number of concurrent users. Streaming capacity in a P2P VoD system is defined as the maximum streaming rate that can be received by every user. In this letter, we study the streaming capacity problem in P2P VoD system...
