Reimagining Live Streaming

Rilla Network innovates by combining centralised ML-driven P2P network orchestration with decentralised bandwidth sharing. This hybrid approach continuously optimises P2P network topology for cost, latency, and quality of experience (QoE), setting it apart from traditional P2P solutions. By prioritising manageable decentralisation and leveraging modern AI/ML Rilla scales and adapts seamlessly. In the future, we plan to use this decentralised model to enable fair value distribution for audience contributions, interactions and transactions.

By utilising ML-driven optimisation algorithms, Rilla continuously refines network topology, effectively balancing load and minimising latency across peers. This dynamic adjustment process ensures optimal performance even as network conditions scale or fluctuate, addressing common peering issues that plague traditional CDN solutions.

Rilla's system is designed with robust fallback mechanisms to ensure continuous service delivery. When network conditions or device compatibility issues arise, the system seamlessly transitions to traditional CDN delivery, maintaining optimal QoE. This resilience is a key feature, allowing Rilla to adapt to various scenarios while minimising disruptions to the end-user experience.

Rilla acts as a proxy layer in front of traditional CDN. This proxy layer enables Rilla to intelligently manage traffic distribution between P2P connections and traditional CDN delivery. By acting as an intermediary, Rilla can optimise content delivery based on real-time network conditions, user device capabilities, and overall system load. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also provides a seamless fallback mechanism to ensure consistent quality of experience for all users.

Factors such as device capabilities, local network conditions, and geographic location can influence how each user interacts with the P2P network. Rilla's adaptive algorithms work to minimise these differences, ensuring that the majority of users benefit from optimal streaming quality and reduced latency.

Rilla's performance monitoring system provides comprehensive insights into network dynamics. Each node maintains a real-time connection with the network orchestrator, enabling continuous monitoring of upstream and downstream connections. This includes tracking QoE metrics and connectivity status. The collected data is logged into a real-time monitoring system for immediate analysis and aggregated into traditional metrics systems for historical trend evaluation.

Rilla's pricing model is designed to align with the value added to its partners' streaming services. Rather than adhering to a traditional per-GB pricing structure, Rilla’s pricing approach reflects the efficiency gains and network contributions enabled by its P2P technology. This may involve pricing based on factors such as session starts, successful peer pairings, or overall network optimisation achieved. Through collaborative proof-of-concept projects, Rilla aims to demonstrate significant cost savings for clients while establishing a transparent, fair and mutually beneficial pricing framework.

Rilla Network enhances security on multiple fronts. It preserves existing DRM and authentication-based content protection while adding an extra layer of security. The P2P network acts as a buffer against potential DDoS attacks on CDNs, absorbing the majority of traffic. Additionally, Rilla's UDP-based traffic makes data interception more challenging compared to conventional network requests.

Rilla Network stands out from open-source P2P CDN options through its advanced ML-driven topology optimisation, which continuously refines network efficiency. This approach allows for superior scalability and performance compared to simplistic orchestration methods found in other open source solutions.

Additionally, Rilla's focus on developer experience, ease of integration, operational simplicity, inbuilt resilience and robust security measures further differentiate it from other solutions.

By directly interfacing with player metrics such as playback states, buffer levels, and network speeds, Rilla optimises the use of its P2P network while maintaining reliable fallback strategies.. This deep integration allows for real-time adjustments to network topology, ensuring optimal performance and user experience even under challenging conditions.

Rilla's granular contribution tracking system allows for precise measurement of each peer's network participation. This enables fair value distribution and opens up possibilities for innovative incentive models. By accurately quantifying individual contributions, Rilla can potentially reward users for their participation, creating a more engaged and motivated network of peers.

Currently, the monetisation potential of streaming is largely captured by third-party platforms and social media, which host most of the transactions and interactions related to streams.

Rilla Network changes this by introducing a decentralised protocol that turns passive viewers into active participants, unlocking new opportunities for live sports streaming through native interactivity and transaction capabilities. By tracking and recording audience engagement, we create personalised experiences and rewards for audiences.

Rilla Network allows audience members to contribute unused network capacity and monetise their interactions. This way, streamers can reclaim the value generated by audience participation and social interactions, enabling new business models that return network value to content rights holders. This approach supports a fairer and more efficient distribution of value within the content economy.
