There are several issues focusing on the current Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technique: How to reach locality feature by connecting regionally close peers? How to effectively reduce P2P traffic and disenable P2P users to occupy the whole wide area network (WAN) bandwidth? To tackle these problems, we propose a Hybrid-Tree based architecture by using FON, one type of Access Point (AP) in wireless networks, based upon its association with both wired and wireless networks as well as its application in multimedia streaming. Further, FON implements Multicast technology to transmit original streaming. We combine FON’s feature and our theory to show that the proposed system can reach desired locality and effectively abate the traffic problem. Lastly, we show that the quality and video’s continuity of multimedia streaming is comparable to the P2P technique.
