Title: Incentives Build Robustness in BitTorrent
Author: Bram Cohen
Institution: bittorrent.org
Year: 2003
Abstract: The BitTorrent file distribution system uses tit-fortat as a method of seeking pareto efficiency. It achieves a higher level of robustness and resource utilization than any currently known cooperative technique. We explain what BitTorrent does, and how economic methods are used to achieve that goal.
