Simple peer selection strategies for fast and fair peer-to-peer file sharing
Pages 208 - 213
Abstract
This paper proposes an adaptive peer selection strategy in support of fast and fair peer-to-peer file sharing applications. According to specific features of peer duality, the system server is able to schedule download requests by degrees of peers' contributions, and correspondingly assign server peers in charge to process requests by degrees of peers' capacities. In addition, several functional extensions, substitute and elimination processes, are further associated to cope with subtle situations of service starvation and download blocking, and hence make the system design robust and amenable. Simulation results exhibit that the proposed mechanisms are simple, but effective in maintenance of service agility, fairness and resource utilization, affected by critical peer churn and free riding problems.

An Efficient Hybrid Peer-to-Peer System for Distributed Data Sharing
Peer-to-peer overlay networks are widely used in distributed systems. Based on whether a regular topology is maintained among peers, peer-to-peer networks can be divided into two categories: structured peer-to-peer networks in which peers are connected ...
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 ...
