Abstract

In the Internet, a variety of entities competes with each other. For example, coexisting overlay networks compete for physical network resources and they often disrupt each other. Service providers offer different services and compete for network resources and customers. If competitors could establish cooperative relationships, the collective performance can be improved and they can coexist peacefully and comfortably in a shared environment. In this paper, to understand the way that symbiosis emerges from direct and/or indirect interactions among coexisting entities in a shared environment, we adopt a mathematical model of symbiotic strains. Through thorough evaluations, we show that networks of different service rate and resource consumption can coexist by mutual interactions.
