In this paper, we propose two peer selection algorithms to increase the number of joining peers and decrease the traffic amount between ASs in P2P live streaming, where we assume that the number (logical hop count) of relaying peers is limited by a predetermined value in order to keep real-time property of live streaming. In the first method, a newly joining peer selects such providing peers that the logical hop count is minimum to increase the number of joining peers. And then if there are several such providing peers, the newly joining peer selects such providing peers that the number (physical hop count) of ASs between the newly joining peer and each of the providing peers is minimum to decrease the traffic amount between ASs. In the second peer selection method, a newly joining peer selects providing peers in the reverse order of the first selection method. Simulation results show that the former increases the number of joining peers compared to the latter. Moreover, when the number of joining peers is small (large), the traffic amount between ASs in the latter (the former) is smaller.
