Incentive Mechanisms for a P2P IPTV System
Daniel A. G. Manzato, Nelson L. S. da Fonseca · 2014
P2P systems rely broadly on user cooperation to achieve performance and scalability, a problem which is aggravated with the transmission of time sensitive content, as it is the case of P2P IPTV systems. Since peers act rationally, cooperating only when they obtain benefits in exchange, incentive mechanisms constitute an essential component of such systems. This paper proposes incentive mechanisms to a P2P IPTV system evaluated previously by the authors.
