RawFlow, ChinaCache to Create P2P Media Delivery Network

RawFlow, a provider of live P2P streaming technologies, has partnered with ChinaCache, the largest content delivery network (CDN) in China. RawFlow and ChinaCache will jointly promote Peer-To-Peer technology in the China market. ChinaCache will deploy the technology for its media delivery network and serve customers with P2P live broadcasting. China has the world's second largest internet population, with more than 132 million connections and 42 million broadband subscribers; making internet broadcast an incredibly attractive medium.

"ChinaCache is a key player in the global CDN market and well positioned in a market where live events attract the world's largest audiences online by far", Mikkel Dissing, Chief Executive Officer of RawFlow commented. "This rich live media demand introduces capacity problems and peak demand risk. When RawFlow's P2P solution is employed on top of ChinaCache's Content Delivery Network, it creates a distributed broadcast approach which not only decreases risk and cost, but also maximises scalability, thereby allowing more people to watch good quality live TV online".

With more and more content being consumed online, it becomes increasingly critical to implement new and more efficient distribution technologies such as peer-to-peer (P2P). When ChinaCache implements RawFlow as its P2P partner for live streaming, it will be able to deliver live simultaneous streams to an almost unlimited number of viewers without network congestion or server breakdown. Bandwidth peaks are removed making it possible to manage large live events.

ChinaCache announced earlier this year that the total capacity of its nationwide CDN network reached 100Gbps at the end of 2006, an event which marked yet another historical milestone in the development of ChinaCache's CDN network and further demonstrates its capability in network construction.

The announcement of RawFlow's partnership with ChinaCache follows announcements of strategic partnerships with other major CDNs, namely Tiscali Business in Germany (16.10.06) and CacheLogic in the UK (19.06.06).

I agree with that, China is growing to be the world's largest internet market. However, the fact is they dont need to add p2p from the outside of china because China already has the best p2p technology in the world.
There are many p2p technology privoders in china, such as the pplive what is the biggest group, ppStream what is the most popular one, uuSee what is the partner of softbank..... also, the most famous with the best technology p2p privoder is called TVKOO.
TVKOO has the best technology for sure, but they dont want to make news of themsleves to the public.
According their captain who is Jack Wang's words, we can know why, "we are a technical team, we have to has more time focus on the technology development in order to make the best solution for our partners......" CEO of TVKOO, Jack said .
Through the thinking, people can know why China has the best technoloy... why??, the answer is very simple because in order to develop the good p2p protocol, programmers need lots of data of testing. For example, they need 100 people to watch the live video in 10 different cities and to see what will happen during the test, and to determine which parameter should be changed....
For the testing, programmers need millions of people helping them... Think about it, which country has this big amount of users can help the testing? The U.K people can help RawFlow to do the testing?? For sure, not. Only chinese users can do that...
After the very complicated testing, TVKOO updating their core protocol for more than 400 times during one year, so they lost a lot of users... because people dont want to update the software every day, or even three times a day.
Can other p2p privoders do that? only focus on the development?? my answer is definitely no, we can know that from knowing how many updating of their core protocol of other p2p privoders did. Finally, TVKOO makes the best solution in the world so far.
TVKOO' solution can demonstrate, one server with 100M bandwidth can support 100,000 people at the same time; in other words, doing international broadcasting business will become pretty easy by using TVKOO's solution.
You dont believe it ,do you? so, why dont you visit the website what are www.tvkoo.com and www.vivitv.com to explore it.
You will watch the show from china fluently, it doest matter where do you live, America, Africa, U.K..... anywhere in the world....
RawFlow has the good solution, maybe in U.K, but not in China. ChinaCach is smart, they will know which one is better, for sure in the recent future.

Laugh later, the best.
