Free Riding in Peer-to-Peer Networks: Review and Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract— The popularity of P2P network paradigm due to the inadequacy of the traditional client-server model to handle increasing exchange of resources amongst millions of users worldwide comes with lots of challenges. One of these challenges is the problem of free riding. Free riding has been identified as a threat to the existence of P2P networks, as it degrades utilization and network performance. The ability to properly understand free riding is vital and critical in order to develop effective countermeasures. In this paper, we examine and discuss the problem of free riders in P2P networks, review the state of the art approaches to combating them and the challenges facing them.

Counteracting free riding in Peer-to-Peer networks
The existence of a high degree of free riding is a serious threat to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed framework to reduce the adverse effects of free riding on P2P networks. Our solution primarily focuses on locating free riders and taking actions against them. We propose a framework in which each peer monitors its neighbors, decides if they are free riders, ...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
متن کاملThe Virtual Commons: Why Free-Riding Can Be Tolerated in File Sharing Networks
Peer-to-peer networks have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional client-server architectures for the distribution of information goods. Recent academic studies have observed high levels of free-riding in various peer-to-peer networks, leading some to suggest the imminent collapse of these communities as a viable information sharing mechanism. Our research develops an analytic model to...

متن کاملA Empirically Validated Framework for Limiting Free-Riding in P2P Networks through the Use of Social Network Information
In order to overcome the problem of free-riding in current P2P system, we suggest applying social network theory. Based on our exploration of the overlapping research fields of social networks and peer-to-peer networks, we propose a new P2P framework within this paper. It specifies social network information that can be used in a P2P system to avoid performance inefficiencies caused by free-rid...
