Thanks @bentossell! Here’s some additional info: Streamroot has developed a peer-accelerated streaming delivery technology designed to help online broadcasters cut their bandwidth costs and improve quality of experience for the viewers. In addition to their traditional server infrastructure, broadcasters using Streamroot benefit from a supplemental video delivery layer using peer-to-peer protocols - or what we like to call peer-accelerated streaming. Our technology connects users watching the same stream, allowing them to obtain content from the source that can provide it the fastest, whether it be from the server or another viewer. This allows online broadcasters to: - dramatically reduce their bandwidth costs while multiplying the capacity of their servers - reach their audiences more efficiently to ensure better quality of service - better handle traffic spikes, making it economically and technically feasible to stream HD and 4K videos to large audiences Best of all, this is completely safe for broadcasters, and requires no plugin or extension on the viewer’s computer! The video demo at www.streamroot.io/demo allows you to see that in action! The graphs show how much of the video is being streamed from the server (in red) versus how much of the video is being streamed from other people watching the same video at the same time (blue). The bandwidth savings are directly proportional to the percentage of peer-to-peer!

What you see on the product hunt page are images of our SaaS portal which we released this past summer. This is our one-stop-shop for broadcasters to use our peer-to-peer delivery technology and track their streams’ audiences and performances.

@ourielohayon to have our tech powering the videos on your website, simply create an account on our portal here: http://dashboard.streamroot.io/r... Then, to activate Streamroot on your site, you will have to copy paste a few lines of javascript in your page code - this can all be found in our getting started guide. Once this is done, your streams will be powered by our hybrid peer-to-peer system. To give you more details on how it works: when a user connects to a webpage with a streamroot accelerated player, he starts downloading the first segments from the CDN, and at the same time connects to our tracker. Our tracker looks for other peers who are watching the same content, and selects them using our algorithms based on geography and other parameters such as ISP and network connection. The tracker selects the best peers, and connects them to form a peer-to-peer mesh. The user’s video player can then ask its peers if they have the video segments it needs, or fall back to the CDN if the other peers cannot provide the content quickly. On the browser side, our technology is powered by the new WebRTC API, allowing transfers of data directly between browsers without any external plugin or software. I hope i was clear enough, happy to answer any of you other questions!

@evanczhou Hi Evan, we have a simple pricing based on the number of Terrabytes going through our p2p network, starting at 2 cents per GB for the first 10TB, which is 5 times lower than Amazon Cloudfront CDN. We also have custom plans for our bigger customers, with custom players integrations available.
