We develop a model of the interaction of rational peers in an incentive-free Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network and use game theoretic analysis to derive results about peer and network be...
A well-known problem in P2P systems is freeriding, where users do not share content if there is no incentive to do so. In this paper, we distinguish lazy freeriders that are merel...

The ability to accurately identify the network traffic associated with different P2P applications is important to a broad range of network operations including application-specifi...
In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems in terms of their `service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the tra...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) anonymous communication systems are vulnerable to free-riders, peers that use the system while providing little or no service to others and whose presence limit...
