A Novel Incentive Mechanism for P2P Systems

Tao Wang, Lu Xianliang, Hou Mengshu · 2005

Free-riding restricts the development of P2P systems. Existing incentive mechanisms take no consideration for the individual and social payoff. To address these problems, this paper presents a novel P2P incentive mechanism. Simulations show that the proposed mechanism can increase the social payoff of the whole P2P systems rapidly, and accelerate the cooperation between nodes.
