Search for: [Description = "In this paper an incentive model to improve the collaboration in peer\-to\-peer networks is introduced. The proposed solution uses an incentives model associated with reputation issues as a way to improve the performance of a P2P system. The reputation of the all peers in the system is based on their donated resources and on their behavior. Supplying peers use these rules as a way to assign its outgoing bandwidth to the requesting peers during a content distribution. Each peer can build its best paths by using a best\-neighbor policy within its neighborhood. A peer can use its best paths to obtain best services related to content search or download. The obtained results show that proposed scheme insulates the misbehaving peers and reduces the free\-riding so that the systems performance is maximized."]
