Merge And Forward

Merge And Forward, is a distributed and self-organized algorithm that provides Inter-Destination Multimedia Synchronization(IDMS) for MPEG-DASH. It further outperforms current related work in terms of overhead and scalability. For more information we refer the interested reader to our ACM MM paper.
We further provide a prototype based on Google’s Exo player supporting MPEG-DASH and our IDMS approach. Please find the source code (licensed under the LGPL) here: Merge And Forward Prototype.
