In a peer-to-peer media delivery, the endpoints exchange media data directly without using any centralized resource. As each peer shares its processing capabilities and bandwidth with the other peers, peer-to-peer networks are highly scalable and robust in case of failures. It also provides better quality of service in terms of lower delay, jitter and loss rate as compared to relayed media delivery.
