چکیده
This paper presents a token-based accounting mechanism that alleviates the free riding problem in P2P networks. On the basis of a P2P file sharing scenario it is shown how tokens are issued, certified and used as a payment in a secure and scalable way. The approach is complemented by distributed pricing as a flexible and viable scheme to incite users to share valuable content and to efficiently balance requests among all peers based on eco-

متن کاملTrusted accounting in peer-to-peer environments: a novel token-based accounting scheme for autonomous distributed systems
Communication systems based on the peer-to-peer (p2p) paradigm present what is likely the most important development in Internet technology in recent years.
