This work was developed by two students from Instituto Superior Técnico at the end of spring semester of 2010/11, following the final draft of the discipline of mobile and wireless networks of the MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The purpose of the application implemented for the Android platform, is in viewing the stream a video file available on the Internet in a distributed manner, taking into account the times of getting the bytes. The origin of the publication of content will be web-servers with the ability to respond to the HTTP/1.1 protocol using the header "Range".
With the existence of several replicas of bytes of video file, thus becomes necessary to choose where and what range of bytes we want to obtain. In this project we defined three management policies that enable the global effort to coordinate the transmission of a stream of bytes.
