Earning a Living among Peers - the Quest for viable P2P Revenue Models

چکیده
P2P applications have found a lot of interest lately but there are open questions about the viability of the revenue models behind P2P applications/ services. In this paper, we discuss revenue models for P2P applications. There is no one size fits all revenue model for the differentP2P applications/ services; hence the quest for viable revenue models requires a differentiated discussion. Our goal is to review some of the fundamental issues which the various P2P application/ service styles face in terms of revenue models. In order to do this, we suggest an abstract view of P2P interaction to which we map the P2P applications/ services and discuss potential issues which revenue models. We conclude with a short summary and some areas for further research.

A Genetic Programming-based trust model for P2P Networks
Abstract— Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . Since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . Therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . This paper investigates the use of genetic ...

متن کاملCost-Profit Analysis of a Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming Architecture
We study the economic aspects of P2P systems. We present a cost-profit analysis of a media streaming service deployed over a peer-to-peer (P2P) infrastructure. We consider the limited capacity as well as the heterogeneity of peers in the analysis. The analysis shows that with the appropriate incentives for participating peers, the service provider achieves more profit. In addition, the analysis...
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 کاملAn economic incentive model for encouraging peer collaboration in mobile-P2P networks with support for constraint queries
In mobile ad hoc peer-to-peer (M-P2P) networks, economic models become a necessity for enticing non-cooperative mobile peers to provide service. M-P2P users may issue queries with varying constraints on query response time, data quality of results and trustworthiness of the data source. Hence, we propose ConQuer, which is an economic incentive model for the efficient processing of constraint qu...
