Fair and efficient bandwidth allocation for peer-to-peer networking

总结

Jason Nieh, Ph.D.

技术优势

Enforces fair bandwidth allocation by P2P clientsDiscourages freeloading users Rewards users who provide large amounts of upload bandwidth, incentivizing others to do soDoes not unfairly penalize users with low activity/bandwidth capabilityPromotes an increase in total bandwidth for P2P networkCan be implemented inside BitTorrent client without modification of the standard BitTorrent protocolPatent information:Patent Pending (US 20110131278)Tech Ventures Reference: IR M08-093

技术应用

Decision-making software for P2P clients (bandwidth allocation for normal use, emergency/high volume scenarios, premium users)Data mining of upload/download trendsIdentification of good P2P users for promotional offeringsIdentification of malicious/freeloading P2P users (high download, low upload) and popular P2P sources of copyrighted material (low download, high upload)Digital distribution software using P2P
