To model this problem, we use the Evolutionary Prisoner’s Dilemma (EPD) [3] to capture the tension between individual and social utility. In the situations that EPD characterizes, cooperation requires repetition and reputation. Both techniques increase familiarity between entities (either directly or indirectly), thereby reducing the probability of interactions with strangers and consequently enhancing cooperation. The context of P2P applications, however, imposes new challenges. First, the large scale of these systems makes it less likely that repeat interactions will occur with the same entity. Second, reputation assumes that players maintain persistent identities, but the existance of zero-cost identities in many P2P systems allows entities to continuously change identities. Both of these issues increase the probability of interacting with a stranger.
