Proceedings ArticleDOI
Pollution in P2P file sharing systems
TL;DR: A measurement study of the nature and magnitude of pollution in the FastTrack P2P network, currently the most popular P1P file sharing system, and an automated procedure to detect whether a given version is polluted or not.
Journal ArticleDOI
The FastTrack overlay: A measurement study
TL;DR: Although this study does not fully solve the FastTrack puzzle, it nevertheless leads to a coherent description of FastTrack and its overlay, and leverages the measurement results to set forth a number of key principles for the design of a successful unstructured P2P overlay.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimal peer selection for P2P downloading and streaming
TL;DR: This paper obtains the optimal solution for minimizing the download delay subject to a budget constraint, as well as the corresponding Nash equilibrium for the streaming problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluid modeling of pollution proliferation in P2P networks
TL;DR: A suite of fluid models that model pollution proliferation in P2P systems and capture a variety of user behaviors, including propensity for popular versions, abandonment after repeated failure to obtain a good version, freeloading, and local version blacklisting are developed.
Optimal Peer Selection in a Free-Market Peer- Resource Economy
TL;DR: This paper formulate and solve the problem of optimally selecting a subset of peers for parallel downloading and for parallel streaming.
