— Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are becoming a popular means of streaming audio and video content but they are prone to bandwidth starvation if selfish peers do not contribute band...
Searching in decentralized peer-to-peer networks is a challenging problem. In common applications such as Gnutella, searching is performed by randomly forwarding queries to all pee...
