“…In these networks, as users join the overlay, they share their own resources with the whole network, and as they leave, they take their resources with them. This means that by joining and leaving, the capacity of the whole network will adapt automatically and it gets bigger or smaller based on its user base [1]. The scalability of P2P networks comes from this dynamic nature.…”

Fairness is one of the most important challenges that should be considered as a priority when designing a P2P file-sharing network. An unfair P2P network may attract free-riders, frustrate the majority of users, and consequently shorten the longevity of files. When BitTorrent protocol was first introduced, by suggesting new algorithms like tit-fortat or rarest-first and combining them with methods like choking and unchoking, it pushed fairness one step forward. However, BitTorrent did not bring a plenary solution and has its own shortcomings. For instance, neither this protocol nor other P2P protocols that we are aware of precisely indicate how seeders should be treated in their networks. Most of the time they dictate that seeders upload as much as possible. With this approach, seeders can easily be abused by free-riders. It gets even worse when we realize that for lack of a good infrastructure a lawful user may become a free-rider unknowingly. The purpose of this paper is to address this problem by suggesting a novel and universal method that can be implemented in current P2P networks. We show that by separating nodes into two groups of seeders and leechers and then implementing a simple pattern for seeders, we can improve fairness in P2P networks. Even though our algorithm is universal and not limited to a specific protocol, by implementing it on BitTorrent we show how it can be used in practice and how effective it is.

Abstract-This study aims to construct an agent-driven advertising framework for allowing agent-peers to distribute ad-videos to their potential customers and robust online marketing communication channels for smooth functioning of the Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems in unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay networks. In particular, the framework does not rely on a centralized collection server, but depends more on agent-peers that better meet customer needs and can transform a server load into scalable bandwidths with availability and high system reliability. However, in large-scale networks, it is important to reduce the load imposed on the server resources. This paper examines the problem of characterizing and assessing the local impact of the load imposed on the peer-level underlay networks by analyzing the kurtosis properties of packet inter-arrival time distribution on a P2P network. In addition, we analyzed the observed global impact of the load imposed for film-data replication to eliminate potential network bottlenecks using an extended density-based clustering (DENCLUE) algorithm of P2P overlay traffic on the agent-level underlay. The results indicate appropriate replication effective in system performance. It also points to the enormous potential of agent-level advertising in enhancing predetermined marketing objectives.Index Terms-Overlay Networks, Peer-to-Peer Systems, Video-on-Demand, Multimedia Communications, Internet Advertising. I. INTRODUCTIONWith ever-increasing attention to the study of online peer-to-peer (P2P) advertising mechanisms [1], a concomitant approach has arisen in delivering marketing messages to attract customers in order to achieve business model innovation. Existing P2P advertising systems, such as[5], or PeerMatrix advertising delivery services are accomplished through combination of P2P file sharing and advertising service. Peers can issue search operations to a web portal server (i.e. Mininova [6]), which provides videos or files catalog using a keyword or comprehensive query. Thereby, the search results with ad files or videos of the advertisers might be downloaded from other peers or seeds and viewed by the target consumers of the advertisement in P2P file-sharing networks. From the point of view of advertisers, advertising and circulation revenue can efficiently track click-count totals and historical data. Compared to non-P2P, online advertising includes contextual ads on search engine results, web banner advertising, social network advertising (e.g. facebook, orkut, myspace, bebo, friendster etc.), and e-mail advertising. P2P networks are more socially-aware [7] and service-oriented [8] because they can self-organize and decentralize communication. Therefore, advertising mechanisms with P2P technology can be more productive in helping advertisers reach their target audiences through a wide range of media, which includes P2P video-on-demand (VoD) service, advertising-supported (ad-funded) VoD, P2P TV, P2P file sharing networks, and other P2P related technologies.In recent...

“…For instance, a toy or a snack advertisement might link to cartoon videos. Hence, a concomitant need has arisen for the delivery of marketing messages to attract customers to the P2P VoD environments [6]. A P2P VoD computing environment can be an ideal platform on which to display advertisements.…”

Efficient data replication for the delivery of high-quality video content over P2P VoD advertising networks

Recent advances in modern television systems have had profound consequences for the scalability, stability, and quality of transmitted digital data signals. This is of particular significance for peer-to-peer (P2P) video-on-demand (VoD) related platforms, faced with an immediate and growing demand for reliable service delivery. In response to demands for high-quality video, the key objectives in the construction of the proposed framework were user satisfaction with perceived video quality and the effective utilization of available resources on P2P VoD networks. This study developed a peer-based promoter to support online advertising in P2P VoD networks based on an estimation of video distortion prior to the replication of data stream chunks. The proposed technology enables the recovery of lost video using replicated stream chunks in real time. Load balance is achieved by adjusting the replication level of each candidate group according to the degree-of-distortion, thereby enabling a significant reduction in server load and increased scalability in the P2P VoD system. This approach also promotes the use of advertising as an efficient tool for commercial promotion. Results indicate that the proposed system efficiently satisfies the given fault tolerances.
