Research report RR-08-225

The paper describes an evolutionary game model of a P2P storage system. By studying the equilibrium point of the game, we demonstrate that an audit-based strategy, where audits are used to decide whether to cooperate with a given peer or not, may win or dominate free-riders peers that are using the system without contributing to it. This desirable equilibrium is reached for certain conditions and system’s parameters revealed in the paper
