Optimal Peer Selection in a Free-Market Peer-Resource Economy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a P2P free-market resource economy a client peer may want to select multiple server peers for either downloading a file or streaming a stored audio or video object. In general, multiple server peers will make the object available, with each peer offering a different price. The optimal peer selection problem is to select from a subset of the peers those peers that can provide the service at lowest cost. In this paper we formulate and solve the problem of optimally selecting a subset of peers for parallel downloading and for parallel streaming.

A Market-Based Approach of Efficient Resource Allocation Mechanisms in Collaborative Peer-to-Peer Systems
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems enable the selection, sharing and aggregation of geographically distributed heterogeneous resources for solving large-scale problems in engineering or science. The management of resources and trading of services in such open and decentralized systems is still a complex undertaking. We propose an interdisciplinary approach to address the resource allocation problem in ...
متن کاملA Lightweight Currency Paradigm for the P2P Resource Market
A P2P resource market is a market in which peers trade resources (including storage, bandwidth and CPU cycles) and services with each other. We propose a specific paradigm for a P2P resource market. This paradigm has five key components: (i) pairwise trading market, with peers setting their own prices for offered resources; (ii) multiple currency economy, in which any peer can issue its own cur...

متن کاملForesighted Resource Reciprocation Strategy in BitTorrent Systems
Recent research efforts have shown that the popular Bit-Torrent protocol does not provide fair resource reciprocation and allows free-riding. In this paper, we propose a novel foresighted resource reciprocation mechanism that replaces the peer selection mechanism with a reinforcement learning mechanism that adopts a foresighted resource reciprocation policy. We model the peer interactions in th...
