Abstract
In multi-point Internet communication such as multicast, sometimes there is the need to share the cost of communication between the several agents involved in the connection. This work presents some of the most commonly used incentive-compatible, individual-rational mechanisms that select the participating users and their cost share in a multicast transmission, focusing on efficiency and/or budget balance. The marginal cost and the Shapley value are presented, as well as algorithms to compute the mechanism in a distributed system. Related research is briefly presented, focusing on alternative mechanisms and specific applications of cost sharing. 1
