The Generic Multiparty Protocol (swift) is a peer-to-peer based
transport protocol for content dissemination. It can be used for
streaming on-demand and live video content, as well as conventional
downloading. In swift, the clients consuming the content participate
in the dissemination by forwarding the content to other clients via a
mesh-like structure. It is a generic protocol which can run directly
on top of UDP, TCP, HTTP or as a RTP profile. Features of swift are
short time-till-playback and extensibility. Hence, it can use
different mechanisms to prevent freeriding, and work with different
peer discovery schemes (centralized trackers or Distributed Hash
Tables). Depending on the underlying transport protocol, swift can
also use different congestion control algorithms, such as LEDBAT, and
offer transparent NAT traversal. Finally, swift maintains only a
small amount of state per peer and detects malicious modification of
content. This documents describes swift and how it satisfies the
requirements for the IETF Peer-to-Peer Streaming Protocol (PPSP)
Working Group's peer protocol.
