Peer Discipline and Incentives Within Groups
We investigate how a collusive group can sustain non-Nash actions by enforcing internal discipline through costly peer punishment. We give a simple and tractable characterization of schemes that minimize discipline costs while preserving incentive compatibility. We apply the model to a public goods contribution problem. We nd that if the per-capita bene t from the public good is low, then regar...
متن کاملAsymmetric Incentives in Peer-to-Peer Systems
In most application scenarios for Peer-to-Peer systems, in order to achieve an overall acceptable system performance an incentive scheme is required that motivates users to share as much as possible of their free resources Today most peers use connections of asymmetric links, such as A-DSL or cable modems. Therefore, users have significantly more download bandwidth than their available upload b...
متن کاملAdding Incentives to Peer-to-Peer Systems
Modern peer-to-peer systems rely heavily on the willingness of users to distribute files to their peers. A selfish user can choose to download a file and consume resources without uploading in return. This form of free-riding plagues all currently deployed systems. We present a protocol for a BitTorrent-like system (i.e., in which only one file is being shared) that strongly discourages peers f...
متن کاملPeer Discipline and the Strength of Organizations
Groups do not act as individuals as Olson and other have emphasized: incentives within groups matter. Here we study internal group discipline through a model of costly peer punishment. We investigate schemes that minimize the cost to a collusive group of enforcing particular actions, and use the model to determine how the strength of the group as measured, for example, by ability to raise funds...
متن کاملIncentives in Peer-to-Peer and Grid Networking
Today, most peer-to-peer networks are based on the assumption that the participating nodes are cooperative. This works if the nodes are indifferent or ignorant about the resources they offer, but limits the usability of peer-to-peer networks to very few scenarios. It specifically excludes their usage in any non-cooperative peer-to-peer environment, be it Grid networks or mobile ad-hoc networks....
