Improving Efficiency and Fairness in P2P Systems with Effort-Based Incentives

Abstract: Abstract-Most P2P systems that have some kind of incentive mechanism reward peers according to their contribution, i.e. total bandwidth offered to the system. Due to the disparity in bandwidth capacity between P2P users on the Internet, the common effect of such mechanisms is that the fastest peers reap the highest benefits. We take a different approach and study how to incentivize cooperation in P2P systems based on effort, i.e. contribution relative to capacity. We make the following contributions: 1) we arg… Show more

“…Taking inspiration from this concept, we propose the third strategy which takes into account the effort of users in terms of their seeding times. Previous studies have shown that the effort-based incentive policy applied in the leeching process improves the systemwide performance [20], [14]. We expect the same improvement when this effort-based methodology is applied in a private community.…”

“…Rahman et al [10] have recently proposed a novel incentive mechanism based on effort, rather than speed. More specifically, peers are not rewarded based on the absolute amount of data they provided, but based on the relative amount of bandwidth they make available (utilized or not).…”

“…The mechanisms presented in [14,15] have shown that cooperation between peers can also reduce peer's download time. The approaches of utilizing localization among peers for reducing overlay traffic and improving performance were proposed in [16,17]. BISTRO improves the download performance with the contributed storage to trade the local storage for faster download speed.…”
