The goal of this thesis is to conduct a study of the strategic behavior of peers in the P2P live and on-demand video streaming software LiveShift, and to quantify the outcome of this behavior in terms of social welfare. The final contribution of this work should be a comparative analysis between an optimal situation and a realistic situation in the LiveShift system, considering peers to be rational and selfish.
