Abstract
When each peer provides data transmission, storage and other related services for other in Peer-to-peer networks, the basic requirement is to ensure that the system has good robustness and availability. Specific to the different practical needs, it’s also to ensure that the system has scalable. In the Mirror Incentive Policy, the system would lose robustness at the low proportion of reciprocators. In this paper, we propose a new incentive policy called Wise Incentive Policy. In the Wise Incentive Policy, the system can achieve the robustness, even if the proportion of defectors is high at the beginning. Simulation experiments verify the validity of the proposed method in peer-to-peer networks.
