Abstract
This paper presents a non-strategic model for the end-system multicast networks based on the concept of replica exchange economy. We believe that microeconomics is a good candidate to investigate the problem of selfishness of the end-users (peers) in order to maximize the aggregate throughput. In this solution concept, the decisions that a peer might make, does not affect the actions of the other peers at all. The proposed mechanism tunes the price of the service in such a way that general equilibrium holds.
