The algorithm operates on the principle of reciprocation, where peers must upload to download, combating free riders. By periodically choking and unchoking peers based on download rates and activity, the algorithm optimizes download speeds and encourages sharing. The concept of choking, interested peers, and optimistic unchoking were explored to enhance network efficiency and fairness. # Recommended videos and playlists If you liked this video, you will find the following videos and playlists helpful System Design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7qLKfILuD8&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT27BuTnJ_trF7BsaTpYLqst Designing Microservices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPj6mhVLQN0&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT0ug8eizS71G6LZb6-4FAFt Database Engineering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-htbah3eCYg&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT2C-Da7Jscr7NptGcIZgQ2l&pp=gAQBiAQB Concurrency In-depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PjlaUnrAMQ&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT3VjDhjMb5yBsgn0wn2-fjp Research paper dissections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXhgFAZroG8&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT2XEJ0AmF02LBK1RFNd-jK8 Outage Dissections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeT_s-UFw-U&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT3_Z97svMs6S2y7tv1PcUmc Hash Table Internals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjW8w8ED3Ns&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT2UnueESBLReaVSLIo_BuAc Bittorrent Internals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7cR0ZolaUA&list=PLsdq-3Z1EPT1rNeq2GXpnivaWINnOaCd0 # Things you will find amusing Knowledge Base: https://arpitbhayani.me/knowledge-base Bookshelf: https://arpitbhayani.me/bookshelf Papershelf: https://arpitbhayani.me/papershelf # Other socials I keep writing and sharing my practical experience and learnings every day, so if you resonate then follow along.
