Abstract(in English) Peer-to-Peer~(P2P) file distribution systems are suitable for disseminating massive files from a server to many users. Specifically, BitTorrent, which is one of the typical P2P file distribution systems, adopts Tit-for-Tat~(TFT) strategy in game theory, where each peer has to upload pieces to others so as to retrieve his/her demanded files from them. We focus on the fact that the TFT-based piece exchange regulates piece flow in the system, according to the state of piece possession of peers. In addition, the server can freely determine where to send pieces. In this paper, we propose a controllable TFT-based P2P file distribution scheme that yields desirable piece flow in the system, by appropriately combining a server's piece sending strategy and a peer's piece retreiving strategy. Through simulation experiments, we show that the proposed scheme can achieve average file retrieving time that is close to the optimal.
