Is this like StreamNation or Put.io?

[jsonified]

Not yet, but integrating with apps like dropbox or similar etc is a nice feature, I'll add that to the official list.

PPSP's key features are:

- live streaming using an innovative method that can be easily secured

- optimised for fast start

- using a standard protocol (UDP) for maximum carrier friendliness

- efficient storage of hash tables via binmap

- use of merkle trees for verifying content without needing the whole hash table to be transferred to every client

- LEDBAT for playing fair with other bandwidth on the client connections

More details on these https://github.com/skunkwerks/swirl/blob/feature/docs/doc/me... and also in the IETF spec http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ppsp-peer-protocol
