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...

This paper proposes a novel adaptive algorithm based on a new soft-regulator (σ, ρ, λ) for concurrent multimedia flows at end hosts. Our algorithm has the following features: ...
