In recent years, the inherent effectiveness of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks has been advocated to address scalability issues in large scale Internet-based on-Demand streaming services. Most of existing works adopt Cache-and-Relay (CR) scheme to exploit a cooperative paradigm among peers. In this paper, we mainly present our practical evaluation study of the scalability of the CR scheme by taking into account of more than 20,000,000 collected real traces. Based on trace-driven simulations, we conclude that the CR scheme is not as effective as previously reported in terms of saving server bandwidth.
