Do you know of any good resources for learning about using P2P and WebRTC to cut down on livestreaming bandwidth costs? This is highly relevant to something I'm working on at the moment.

Unfortunately most tech in that space seems to be proprietary but here are some companies we have found doing cool stuff in the space.

Hola CDN Streamroot Peer5 Conviva Cedexis

I think some have some whitepapers, but I'd be surprised if they give much away.

Hey, Nikolay from Streamroot here.

We also have whitepapers easily accessible on our website, and a free dashboard where you can test our technology in a few clicks. In terms of open-source projects, there are some projects like Bem.tv but they lack robustness when you try to scale.
