Abstract
This paper presents a non-strategic behavior model for the application layer multicast networks in which the natural selfishness of the peers is exploited in order to maximize the overall utility of the network. In the non-strategic solution concept, the decisions that a peer might make does not affect the actions of the other peers at all. In other words, it incorporates the non-strategic decisions in order to design the mechanism for the overlay network. We have modeled the application layer multicast network as a non-strategic competitive economy based on the theory of consumer-firm of microeconomics by leveraging the concept of Walrasian general equilibrium.
