Abstract

Media streaming is among the most popular services provided over the Internet. The lack of a central authority that controls the users, motivates the analysis of Media on Demand (MoD) services using game theoretic concepts. We define and study the corresponding resource-allocation game, where users correspond to self-interested players who choose a MoD server with the objective of minimizing their individual cost. Each user requires a certain media-file which determines the user’s class. A server provides both broadcasting and storage needs. Accordingly, the user’s cost function encompasses both negative and positive, class-dependent, congestion effects.
