Abstract

WebRTC is a relatively hot technique for web in the recent years, simple Javascript API can achieve the communications of common data types even audio and video data types between browsers supporting HTML5. Moreover, it possesses the features of no plug-ins, cross platform, low development and usage cost etc. At present, vast of related applications have been proposed, and file sharing is one of the most important research issues among them.The present way to realize the web file transfer is uploading the file to the server, then browsers can download the files which results in that the server undertakes all burdens, so we need more requirements for the computational capacity and bandwidth resources; furthermore, the cooperating operations should be done after the user loads all the resources in the cooperating system which causes the long waiting time for users then affects the user experience. Aiming at the problems above, we raise a file sharing scheme with web P2P based on WebRTC and HTML5, it can reduce the burden of the server, it makes good use of upstream resource of web with transferring the file fragment which improves the speed of the transfer speed, then decrease the waiting time of users.
