This is a test. This is only a test...

Who are we:

We the p2p-next consortium have developed software that can stream video over a peer-to-peer bittorrent network. We have named this software the SwarmPlayer. Now we would like to find out if the SwarmPlayer indeed works as well as we think it will. You can help us with that!

Aim of this test:

When you participate in our scientific experiment we can measure the performance of our software in different situations. We measure if the video is downloading successfully and at what speed it is downloading.

Bugs report:

Participating will also help us find any remaining bugs. We resolved most of the flaws that we could find, but there are likely some more. If you find that anything is wrong, do not hesitate to tell us about it.

Basic requirements:

To participate in the test you need a broadband connection that can download at least 600 Kbits per second.

Optional requirements:

If you are a bit technical: please help a even more and open port 8620 on your NAT/Firewall before installation and leave the Swarmplayer running for as many hours as you can while viewing the Amsterdam "Bittorrent Webcam". This is still needed unfortunately as our NAT/Firewall puncturing and sharing ratio enforcement research is not yet mature.
