Each view of the multi-view video is streamed over an independent P2P streaming tree and each peer only contributes upload capacity in a single tree, in order to limit the adverse effects of ungraceful peer departures. Additionally, we introduce a quick join procedure to reduce the start-up delay for the first data packet after a join request. Continuity index and decoded video quality performance for simulcast and MVC encoding in a large topology under different settings are reported, in addition to the improvements achieved by the quick join procedure.} }
