Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computers, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for transmitting multimedia resources.

Background

The following problems exist in the current playback system that integrates the P2P (Peer-to-Peer) kernel: on one hand, for a user who does not want to start the uploading of P2P, P2P cannot be performed. On the other hand, the P2P can only be performed in the node playing in real time, whether data can be interacted depends on whether the playing schedules of the two playing ends are close, and if the playing schedules are far apart, the valid P2P cannot be performed. For the above problem, the current solution is to select nodes with similar playing progress to return according to the playing progress of the playing node by a tracking server tracker. However, this solution increases the complexity of the tracker and does not solve the problem of P2P transmission for users who do not start P2P uploading.

In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed.
