A Novel P2P Resource Sharing Incentive Mechanism
Xiao Bo · Journal of Southwest Jiaotong University · 2005
To resolve the “free rider” and the “tragedy of the commons” problem in peer to peer storage systems. In this paper, we propose incentive mechanism in a P2P storage sharing system based on the genetic algorithms. In this mechanism, the provider allocates the sharing space based the genetic algorithms, and maximum its contribution by choosing the optimum policy. The more contribution and the more sharing storage which its can use. Analyses and simulations show that the genetic algorithms based P2P incentive mechanism is fairness and effective, and it can discard the free rider from P2P system effectively and encourage the node sharing more storage so that it can earn more reward.
