Abstract

Peer-to-Peer(P2P) media streaming has emerged as a promising solution to media streaming in large distributed systems such as the Internet. Several P2P media streaming solutions have been proposed by researchers, however they all implicitly assume peers are collaborative, thus they suffer from the selfish peers that are not willing to collaborate. In this paper we introduce an incentive mechanism to urge selfish peers to behave collaboratively. It combines the traditional reputation-based approach and an online streaming behavior monitoring scheme. Our preliminary results show that the overall performance achieved by collaborative peers do not suffer from the existence of non-collaborative peers. The incentive mechanism is orthogonal to the existing media streaming solutions and can be integrated into them.
