Abstract
Recent measurement studies [8] have shown that peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications are the major traffic source in the Internet. P2P applications, such as eDonkey, Kazaa, or BitTorrent, form overlay networks on the application layer and offer its peers to download and share their files with other peers in a highly distributed way. As a consequence, peers act simultaneously as both clients and servers. For a comprehensive survey of P2P technology, we refer to [7].

A free-rider aware reputation system for peer-to-peer file-sharing networks
Recently, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have widely been used to file-sharing applications due to their decentralized architecture and reliability. The popularization of P2P networks also provides peers with ulterior motive an ideal environment to spread ...
Free-Riding on BitTorrent-Like Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems: Modeling Analysis and Improvement
BitTorrent has emerged as a very popular peer-to-peer file sharing system, which uses an embedded set of incentive mechanisms to encourage contribution and prevent free-riding. However, the capability BitTorrent has of preventing free-riding needs ...
