Abstract | We consider a forwarding game on directed graphs where nodes need to send certain amount of flow (packets) to specific destinations, possibly through several relay nodes. All nodes in the network act selfishly and will forward packets only if it is to their benefit. The model assumes that each node receives some utility from sending it flow to the predetermined destinations and from receiving flow. However each node has to decide whether to relay flow as an intermediate node from other sources, as relaying has an associated cost. This model assumes that there is no payment scheme. Somewhat surprisingly, this game has possibly several strategies that allow a significant amount of the flow to be routed while all nodes have a positive outcome, which suggest that in this model the nodes have indeed incentives to relay flow even if payments are not explicitly allocated. Although previous theoretical work establishes the existence of these strategies (Nash equilibrium solutions), it is not known how often networks have such solutions, and what percentage of flow is actually relayed through the network. In this work we simplify the original network model, and provide the first experimental evaluation of these equilibria for various classes of graphs. We provide clear evidence that these equilibrium solutions are indeed significant and establish how these equilibria depend on various properties of the network such as average degrees and flow demand density. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
