In this paper, we present a game-based model to analyze nodes' behaviors and influence of
incentive mechanism on nodes in a peer-to-peer network in which the altruistic and selfish …

The free-riding problem is widely accepted to be retarding the deployment and growth of
P2P networks. In order to solve this problem, we give a strict definition of the peer's …

Peer-to-peer networks need to have self-organization properties because of the lack of a
centralized authority. This implies that nodes should self-manage and cooperate to sustain …

Free riding is a major problem in peer-to-peer networks. Reputation management systems
are generally proposed to overcome this problem. In this paper we have discussed a …

Free-riding is a severe problem in peer-to-peer systems. It can be controlled by adopting an
effective resource allocation mechanism. This paper game theoretically analyzes a resource …

We develop a new model of the interaction of rational peers in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network
that has at its heart altruism, an intrinsic parameter reflecting peers' inherent willingness to …

The performance of peer-to-peer systems is based on the quality and quantity of resource
contributions from participating peers. In most systems, users are assumed to be …

Game theory has been used to model the behaviour of selfish participants in P2P networks
in which certain incentives to share resources are present, and also to model the resulting …
