Popis: Peer-assisted networks have recently emerged as an excellent tool for distributing video contents across the Internet. High peers’ participation and cooperation in peer-assisted networks can drastically reduce the bandwidth cost, increased scalability and ease of deployment. However, the main factor which limits effective distribution of resources in this network is free riding; a situation in which a peer consumes resources freely but refuses to service other peers. This paper presents a new peer-assisted streaming model (AyoPeer) using game theoretics with the aim of minimizing free riding.The interactions between peers are fashioned after a famous Yoruba game called “Ayo”. AyoPeer provides a reward and punishment mechanism that ensures the free-riders fail and cooperating peers succeeds with download. The experimental results revealed that AyoPeer mechanism outperform the existing scheme by ensuring fair distribution of resources, high cooperation among peers and resistance to free-riding peers.
