Abstract

This paper presents a non-strategic behavior model for the application layer multicast networks in which the natural selfishness of the peers is exploited in order to maximize the overall utility of the network. In the nonstrategic solution concept, the decisions that a peer might make does not affect the actions of the other peers at all. In other words, it incorporates the nonstrategic decisions in order to design the mechanism for the overlay network. We have modeled the application layer multicast network as a nonstrategic competitive economy based on the theory of consumer-firm of microeconomics by leveraging the concept of Walrasian general equilibrium.
