We develop a model of the interaction of rational peers in an incentive-free Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network and use game theoretic analysis to derive results about peer and network be...
The mobile-P2P paradigm is becoming increasingly popular. Existing mobile-P2P solutions largely do not consider economic incentive models for enticing peer participation without e...
In the process of developing P2P systems simulation has proved to be an essential tool for the evaluation of existing and conceived P2P systems. So far, in practice there has been...

Abstract. We study the interaction between network effects and external incentives on file sharing behavior in Peerto-Peer (P2P) networks. Many current or envisioned P2P networks r...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have proven to be an efficient and successful mechanism for file sharing over the Internet. However, current P2P protocols have long worst case query...
