Abstract
Peer-to-peer networks have emerged and evolved in their use due to the limitations of the centralised client-server network architecture. They are used in applications such as video games for text, images, sound, and video. Resource sharing in peer-to-peer networks has enhanced multimedia distribution, system scalability, and performance. Peer-to-peer systems depend on the unimpeded collaboration of peers on the network, leading to certain peers declining to provide resources to the network and being identified as free riders. Free riding has become a significant concern in peer-to-peer systems and requires attention. Free-riding activities impact the performance of a peer-to-peer video-on-demand system, reducing its efficiency. This study explores the utilisation of incentive mechanisms to address free-riding on peer-to-peer networks and suggests an effective overlay network for this purpose. The coin-based approach, an incentive mechanism, aims to mitigate free riding by rewarding participating peers with coins and distinguishing those who do not participate
