....users offer almost all the available content. For example, in the Gnutella file sharing system [2] over 70 of the content was provided by just 5 of the users [1] As a result, much existing work on incentives in P2P systems have been focused on solving the problem of freeriding (e.g. [3, 4]) However, in applications where peers gain from answering queries, freeriding is unlikely to be a problem, since the necessary incentives are inherent. For example, in a pay per transaction file sharing system where peers get paid for uploading files, peers will want to share files, because ....

Quality of Service. Several approaches to combatting the free riding problem have been presented (e.g. [3, 4]) Because the context of the problem is different a system where peers free ride versus a system in which peers compete to provide services the techniques presented in these papers cannot be applied directly to solve our problem. As an alternative to the RTR protocol, one can imagine ....
