MMC04-1: An Incentive Mechanism for Peer-to-Peer Networks with Live Streaming
Daniel A. G. Manzato, Nelson L. S. da Fonseca · Globecom · 2006
Although peer-to-peer networks are more scalable than client-server ones, they face efficiency challenges. One of them is the selfish behavior of non-cooperative peers. Another challenge is the short time peers stay connected to the system, which causes disruptions of the delivery of time-constrained content. This paper introduces an incentive mechanism to address both problems in peer-to-peer networks with live streaming.
