Abstract

We model the multi-path multi-hop routing in networks with selfish nodes as an auction and provide a novel solution from the game-theoretical perspective. We design a mechanism that results in Nash equilibria rather than the traditional strategyproofness, which alleviates the overpayment problem of the widely used VCG mechanism. Through theoretical analysis, the proposed protocol is shown to be effective.
