Hi list members,
I'm searching previous work about nodes which set a price for a
service they'll
provide in a p2p networks, how they calculate it and how balancing it
through
the network.
Mnet (mojo) is the only one, unless you count bittorrent, where the
participants in a torrent trade bandwidth for bandwidth.
My analysis of mnet's failure is that price discovery is hard, is
always imperfect, and if done with human labor, labor intensive.
In a sense, isn't that this what routing algorithms do? .. reducing the
decision about a packet's next hop to identifying and distributing the
"costs" of different paths through the network topology.
There's been LOTS of work on routing algorithms over the years.
