In depth
A closer look at PeerCast
PeerCast is a very lightweight tool that is capable of streaming audio content in a network using peer to peer technology. This means not only that any listener can relay the stream to others, but it also makes the entire system use a lot less bandwidth from the source. This in turn means that you can stream higher quality MP3, OGG, WMA and WMV audio outputs as long as the connections between the users are stable. Besides broadcasting to other peers, the application is capable of streaming the media to any player and offers you the possibility to do both at the same time. This way, you can choose to target a client in a different country, for example, and have him be the source for other peers. As a user, you can however set your relay to ‘0’ and not stream content any further.
