Evolutionary Game for Peer-to-peer Storage Audits
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes an evolutionary game model of a P2P storage system. By studying the equilibrium point of the game, we demonstrate that an audit-based strategy, where audits are used to decide whether to cooperate with a given peer or not, may win or dominate free-riders peers that are using the system without contributing to it. This desirable equilibrium is reached for certain conditions and system’s parameters revealed in the paper.

Validating Peer-to-Peer Storage Audits with Evolutionary Game Theory
This paper discusses the efficiency of audits as incentives for reducing free-riding in P2P storage applications, that is, lessening the number of peers that can store their data without contributing to the storage infrastructure. Audits are remote data verifications that can also be used to decide whether to cooperate with a given peer based on its behavior. We demonstrate how an audit-based s...
متن کاملAnalysis of user-driven peer selection in peer-to-peer backup and storage systems
In this paper we present a realistic model of peer-to-peer backup and storage systems in which users have the ability to selfishly select remote peers they want to exchange data with. In our work, peer characteristics (e.g., on-line availability, dedicated bandwidth) play an important role and are reflected in the model through a single parameter, termed profile. We show that selecting remote p...
متن کاملEvolutionary Stability of Reputation Management System in Peer to Peer Networks
Each participant in peer-to-peer network prefers to free-ride on the contribution of other participants. Reputation based resource sharing is a way to control the free riding. Instead of classical game theory we use evolutionary game theory to analyse the reputation based resource sharing in peer to peer system. Classical game-theoretical approach requires global information of the population. ...
متن کاملA game theoretic approach to a peer-to-peer cloud storage model
Classical cloud storage based on external data providers has been recognized to suffer from a number of drawbacks. This is due to its inherent centralized architecture which makes it vulnerable to external attacks, malware, technical failures, as well to the large premium charged for business purposes. In this paper, we propose an alternative distributed peer-to-peer cloud storage model which i...
متن کاملCompuP2P: An Architecture for Sharing of Computing Resources In Peer-to-Peer Networks With Selfish Nodes
CompuP2P is an architecture for sharing of computing resources in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. It provide resources, such as processing power, memory storage etc., to user applications that might require them. CompuP2P creates dynamic markets for different amounts of computing resources without relying on any trusted centralized entity to monitor the activities of nodes in those markets. Moreov...
