While the fundamental premise of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is that of voluntary resource
sharing among individual peers, there is an inherent tension between individual rationality …

This paper describes a new approach to end-to-end congestion control on a multi-user
network. Rather than manually formulate each endpoint's reaction to congestion signals, as …

We introduce a game-theoretic setting for routing in a mobile ad hoc network that consists of
greedy, selfish agents who accept payments for forwarding data for other agents if the …

The application of mathematical analysis to the study of wireless ad hoc networks has met
with limited success due to the complexity of mobility and traffic models, the dynamic …

This paper describes a general approach to constructing cooperative services that span
multiple administrative domains. In such environments, protocols must tolerate both …

Over the past few years, wireless networking technologies have made vast forays into our
daily lives. Today, one can find 802.11 hardware and other personal wireless technology …

As the Internet becomes increasingly heterogeneous, the issue of congestion control
becomes ever more important. In order to maintain good network performance, mechanisms …

Game-theoretic tools are becoming a popular design choice for distributed resource
allocation algorithms. A central component of this design choice is the assignment of utility …

The proliferation of hotspots based on IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs brings the promise of
seamless Internet access from a large number of public locations. However, as the number …

A recent trend in routing research is to avoid inefficiencies in network-level routing by
allowing hosts to either choose routes themselves (eg, source routing) or use overlay routing …
