While the literature contains surveys of the architectures of these systems, there is a lack of work on methodologies for their evaluation. We identify the main issues in the evaluation of P2P live streaming systems and use the Community Network Game (CNG) project as an ex- ample to illustrate them. The evaluation of the P2P sys- tem consists of two phases: a laboratory one using the ns-2 network simulator and an online field test with Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) players.}, author = {Christos Bouras and Vaggelis Kapoulas and Andreas Papazois and S Ahmad and R Hamzaoui and A Sahni and G Simon and Elyia Buyukkaya} }
