Incentive Human-to-Human Chat Support Protocol

چکیده
In this study, we introduce a new peer-to-peer (P2P) approach to instant messaging systems based on a fully decentralized network, and where each human owning a peer can control the traffic supported by her system. The control may be based on criteria such as: (a) her desire to help the endpoints of the communication, e.g., based on friendship, (b) her desire to help a cause, e.g., based on the content/topic of the communication, (c) reputation, or (d) the utility brought to her by the handled data. Peers need help to communicate when they are behind NATs. Unlike the P2P chat system used in Skype, no centralized servers are involved (no central redirect server, login server or web server). Providing intrinsic motivation such that peers help with traffic is important in order to eventually make an open source P2P chat system viable. In current non-incentive P2P systems like Skype, availability of open source versions can potentially starve the system of supernodes (since users can disable the resource consuming supernode-function). In our approach, each peer has equal privileges to any other peer. Nodes register their address with other peers of their choice, which can then act as directories on their behalf. Each peer with sufficient resources can voluntarily play the role of directory for her friends or of forwarding incoming messages to peers behind NATs. This paper analyzes key functions of the solution such as incentive management, NAT and firewall traversal, connection establishment and message transfer under different network setups.
