Abstract :
In this letter resource pricing is applied to peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to ensure a fair allocation of resources. The differences to congestion pricing in IP networks are described and a distributed algorithm based on locally available information is proposed. Asymptotic stability for the global optimum of the proposed system is proven based on a Lyapunov function
