In the past seventeen years, research on P2P computing and systems has received enormous amount of attention in the areas of academia and the industry. P2P rose to triumphant profit-making systems in the internet. It represents the best incarnation of the end to end argument, the frequently disputed design philosophies that guided the design of the internet. The doubting factor then is why is research on P2P computing now fading from the spotlight and suffering a nose dive fall as dramatic as its rise to its popularity. This paper is going to capture a quick look at past results in peer-to-peer computing with focus on understanding what led to its rise, what contributed to its commercial success and what has led to its lack of interest. The insight of this paper introduces cloud computing as a paradigm to peer-to-peer computing.

Since p2p is self-organizing, the greatest advantage of a P2P environment is scalability. With such great advantages, p2p systems face a major risk that can cause their collapse. Free-riding is the chief concern relating to p2p systems. The free-riding peers also recognized as free-riders act selfishly because they merely desire to download files but are not willing to upload to other peers in return. Bit-Torrent, that is the utmost popular p2p system over the previous years, gives incentives for peers to upload by enforcing a tit-for-tat strategy. This strategy enables peers that upload chunks, to receive better download speeds in return. Though it is agreed that free riding is unwanted, it is not researched in detail how the quantity of free-riders affect a p2...
