| Abstract |
|
This paper presents a micro-payment-based architecture
for P2P content distribution networks using the Lightweight
Currency Protocol. Under this architecture, autonomous
peers form a dynamic overlay network that evolves as peers
buy and sell documents with the Lightweight Currency Protocol
(LCP). By adopting a payment-based system, member
peers are forced to contribute resources in order to obtain
benefits, thus eliminating the free-rider problem. We
present a document search mechanism that is based on bidding,
with the use of micro-payments.
