Bandwidth allocation in peer-to-peer file sharing networks
We present a model of bandwidth allocation in a stylized peer-to-peer file sharing network. Given an arbitrary population of peers composed of sharers and freeriders, where all peers interconnect to maximize their allocated bandwidth, we derive the expected bandwidth obtained by sharers and freeriders. We show that sharers are always better off than freeriders and that the difference decreases ...
متن کاملCompetitive Status Signaling in Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Networks
Internet peer-to-peer file sharing is a contemporary example of asymmetrical sharing in which “altruists” (file uploaders) share unconditionally with non-reciprocating “free riders” (file downloaders). Those who upload digital media files over the Internet risk prosecution for copyright infringement, and are more vulnerable to computer hackers and viruses. In an analysis of file-sharing behavio...
متن کاملDistributed caching in unstructured peer-to-peer file sharing networks
Nowadays, the peer-to-peer (P2P) system is one of the largest Internet bandwidth consumers. To relieve the burden on Internet backbone and improve the query and retrieve performance of P2P file sharing networks, efficient P2P caching algorithms are of great importance. In this paper, we propose a distributed topology-aware unstructured P2P file caching infrastructure and design novel placement ...
متن کاملAn analytic model for peer to peer file sharing networks
In this paper we introduce a random-graph based model for studying the evolution of ad hoc peer-to-peer (P2P) communities such as in Gnutella or Freenet. The proposed random graph model generates a nonuniform graph and provides control over the nodal degree distribution. We study basic properties such as reachability from a given node in the network using an analytical approach. The model can b...
متن کاملAvailability of titles on peer-to-peer file sharing networks
File sharing, typically involving video or audio material in which copyright may persist and using peer-to-peer (P2P) networks like BitTorrent, has been reported to make up the bulk of Internet traffic (Pouwelse et al., 2008; Kryczka et al., 2011). The free-riding problem appears in this “digital gift economy” but its users exhibit rational behaviour (Becker and Clement, 2006), subject to the c...
