对等通信网络中的定价和网络外部性（草案）
Pricing and Network Externalities in Peer-to-Peer Communications Networks (Draft)
摘要：
利用直接和间接网络外部性的概念，分析了无线对等网络中中转流量的定价问题。我们首先建立，没有任何定价机制，拥塞外部性压倒其他网络效应在无线数据网。我们表明，对等技术将减轻拥塞，并允许用户利用更多的积极的网络外部性。然而，如果没有定价，对等网络的均衡就像一个由搭便车的代理人组成的水桶队一样崩溃了。通过定价和完全竞争，对等均衡是可能的，并允许更多的用户同时在网络上。然而，拥塞外部性仍然是一个问题，因此通过俱乐部组织的对等可能是最好的解决方案。
英文摘要：
This paper analyzes the pricing of transit traffic in wireless peer-to-peer networks using the concepts of direct and indirect network externalities. We first establish that without any pricing mechanism, congestion externalities overwhelm other network effects in a wireless data network. We show that peering technology will mitigate the congestion and allow users to take advantage of more the positive network externalities. However, without pricing, the peering equilibrium breaks down just like a bucket brigade made up of free-riding agents. With pricing and perfect competition, a peering equilibrium is possible and allows many more users on the network at the same time. However, the congestion externality is still a problem, so peering organized through a club may be the best solution.
