Abstract(in English) The demand for large-scale file distribution over the Internet has been increasing especially in case ofsoftware and its update data distribution. When a new file is released, many users tend to simultaneously accessthe distribution servers, making them bottleneck. Several systems (e.g., Windows Update) have started applyingthe Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file distribution paradigm where users (i.e., peers) assist the file distribution. Since peerswill consume their access link capacities to upload fragments of the file (i.e., pieces) to others, an appropriate incentivemechanism should be designed to realize such cooperative P2P file distribution. In this paper, we focus onthe Tit-for-Tat (TFT) based P2P file distribution which encourages equivalent amount of piece exchange amongeach pair of peers. In particular, we newly derive explicit equations giving the relationship between the systemparameters (e.g., the number of peers and the upload capacity distribution) and the minimum file distribution timeof the two-class TFT-based P2P file distribution where only two-class peers (i.e., peers with high upload capacityand those with low one) exist. Through numerical results, we verify the validity of derived equations and comparethe system performance of TFT based P2P file distribution with those of conventional client-server file distributionand normal P2P file distribution.
