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 …

The successful deployment of peer-to-peer (P2P) live video streaming systems has
practically demonstrated that it can scale to reliably support a large population of peers …

We provide a generic achievability argument for incentives in gossip based p2p streaming
by proving that after coupling a randomized optimistic unchoke mechanism to an incentive …

Peer-to-peer media streaming framework has been widely considered as a promising
platform for delivering high quality multimedia content on the global scale. A fundamental …

The performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution networks depends highly on the
coordination of the peers. Sophisticated cooperation strategies, such as the multiple source …

P2P systems that rely on the voluntary contribution of bandwidth by the individual peers may
suffer from free riding. To address this problem, mechanisms enforcing fairness in bandwidth …

We present a token-based accounting mechanism that alleviates the free riding problem in
P2P networks. The approach is complemented by distributed pricing as a flexible and viable …

Most peer-to-peer (P2P) systems assume that all peers are cooperating for the benefit of the
community. However in practice, there is a significant portion of peers who leech resources …

We propose a rank-based peer-selection mechanism for peer-to-peer media streaming
systems. The mechanism provides incentives for cooperation through service differentiation …
