Abstract(in English) In periodic file distribution, e.g., software update, distribution servers tend to be bottlenecks, due to the access concentration. To alleviate this problem, several systems, e.g., Windows update, have started applying Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file distribution where clients (peers) assist the distribution by uploading retrieved fragments of the file (pieces) to others. However, it has been pointed out that many peers tend to be free riders, which are not willing to upload pieces to others, so as to save their upload capacity. Tit-for-Tat (TFT) strategy in game theory is one of the practical mechanisms, which can build reciprocity per each pair of peers. In this paper, we formulate Linear Programming (LP) for minimizing file distribution time of the TFT-based P2P file distribution. Through numerical results, we reveal how the number of peers and upload capacity of peers and server affect the minimum file distribution time.
