Abstract
Many peer computers today participate in peer-to-peer file sharing applications in which the computers contribute storage and bandwidth resources. Of course, applications can only harness the resource pool if peers make available their surplus resources to them. It is widely documented, however, that the P2P systems are havens for "free riders": a significant fraction of users do not contribute any resources, and a minute fraction of users contribute the majority of the resources. Clearly, to improve the performance of existing P2P file sharing systems, and to enable new classes of P2P applications, a compelling incentive system needs to be put in place.Keywords
