“…At the same time, several drawbacks of these highly incentivized systems have been identified. Some of these disadvantages were reported in [16]. Counter-intuitively, long seeding time does not necessary lead to high sharing ratio (or to be rich in the terminology of credit systems).…”

Evidences show that besides their incredible performance, private BitTorrent communities which employ credit-based contribution incentives can also confront with system seize-up. Although the sustainability of these communities can be established in a wide range of system parameters, it is still not fully understood under what initial conditions can this be assured. In this paper, with the usage of extensive simulation results, we investigate the effects of the file size and the impact of initial credit amount distribution in order to deduce further conditions of sustainability.

“…It is indisputable that the authentication process could enhance a degree of trust in the corresponding counterparty, but the asymmetric cryptography-based certificate raises privacy problems by revealing the user's certificate of identification to everyone, and the interaction record stored merely in the certification authority would compromise data security further. In the case of content discovery, the tracker is designed to provide the content requester with candidate peers, in which the required content was cached [4], [5]. Despite the tracker can effectively manage the cached contents in peers, its limited ability to handle more peers would make it harder to deal with a large-scale P2P network, and aggravate its burden to maintain a list of available contents in real-time.…”

Video-on-Demand (VoD) streaming services on the hybrid P2P-CDN architecture nicely balances the high reliability contributed by the CDN, and the great scalability provided by P2P. However, the unmanageable and trustless feature of the P2P network can cause content piracy and security threats to the copyright holders and users. To date, there has not been an adequate scheme based on P2P-CDN providing VoD streaming services in the literature that resolves the content protection and secure delivery while keeping up the efficiency of P2P streaming performance. In this work, a manageable and secure VoD streaming delivery scheme is proposed for P2P-CDN, which marries the requisite requirements with the blockchain and zeroknowledge. The experimental results show that our proposed scheme offers a superior VoD streaming service both on the performance metrics and security compared with the most widely used and mature system for P2P-CDN nowadays, even under a large-scale P2P network.Index Terms-Content distribution network (CDN), hybrid P2P-CDN, video on demand (VoD), blockchain, zero-knowledge, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.
