Abstract

We propose a multiclass fluid model for BitTorrent-like content distribution systems. The new model can model heterogeneous peers, in which peers have different access bandwidths. The model can also model BitTorrent-like systems which provide differential service (for example, first class and second class service) to the participating peers. The fluid model leads to a non-linear system of differential equations with special structure. For the service differentiation problem, we prove that the system of differential equations admits a unique stable equilibrium, that we compute in closed-form. We also give the average download times for both classes. For the bandwidth diversity problem, we show that the system of differential equations has a stable state that may depend on the initial conditions. We give the average download time of both classes for each reachable steady-state.
