Abstract(in English) In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing systems, file availability is improved by users cooperatively caching and sharing files. However, many users may hesitate to cache files cooperatively due to the cost for caching, such as storage consumption, processing load, and bandwidth consumption. In such a case, unpopular files are likely to disappear from the system. In this paper, we reveal how the selfish user behavior affects the system performance using evolutionary game theoretic approach. Specifically, we focus on situations where users are heterogeneous in terms of aggressiveness in cooperative caching. Analytical results show that the user heterogeneity contributes to the stability of file availability.
