[vlc] P2P Video Streaming

[Bastian Gerhard]

Hi everybody

I am new to the list and not yet very familiar with VLC's streaming 
capabilities but I was hoping that someone could give me a quick insight 
into what can already be done in regards to P2P streaming.

As you might know, just recently BitTorrent announced a new service 
aiming for streaming video programs over the Internet:

Are there any sustainable P2P implementations of the BitTorrent protocol 
available for VLC? How feasible would it be to roll out a simplified 
open-source P2P video client that runs on Windows, MacOSX and Linux?

Appreciating any input on this.

Thanks a lot in advance
Bastian
