My apologies that this question is likely tangential to the main objective of the research, but will this project be open sourcing the signal acquisition, transcoding, and delivery portion of its research as well?
This part of this project alone is good enough to improve, dare I claim disrupt, enormous monied interests in the global media landscape.
If this whole thing is legal (500 simultaneous peers), and can be reduced to a docker image and some rabbit ears, you could probably improve the lives of millions (60?) of Americans that do not have access to local stations.
Also, the claim of "not going to be deployed any time soon on a production CDN or streaming service", I would like to make a friendly wager that you are mistaken. I won't even demand favorable odds because of my disadvantaged intellect. This is impressive and valuable work.
My applause.
- keithwinstein 8y agoThank you for your kind words! The students worked really hard to get all those details right. And yes, all that stuff is at the GitHub repo (https://github.com/StanfordSNR/puffer https://github.com/StanfordSNR/puffer).
