E-Learning is the process of extending the resources to different locations by using multimedia communications. Many e-Learning methodologies are available and based on client-server, peer-to-peer and using Grid Computing concepts. To establish e-Learning process, systems should satisfy these needs, i) high storage for storing, ii) high network throughput for faster transfer and iii) efficient streaming of materials. The first and second needs are satisfied by using Grid and P2P technologies and the third need can be achieved by an efficient video compression algorithm. This study proposes a framework, called Optimized Grid Based e-Learning (OgBeL), which adopts both Grid and P2P technology. To reduce the e-Learning material size for efficient streaming, a light weight compression algorithm called ＂dWave＂ is embedded in ＂OgBeL＂. The behavior of framework is analyzed in terms of time taken to transfer files using in-use grid protocols and in networks combined with grid and P2P.
