2.2
Refer to the Back-off mechanism in TCP which we used as a simple example to illustrate
interaction between two players in non-cooperative Game Theory. Let the Table below illustrate
the Payoff to two players A and B, under conditions that they follow the mechanism (termed C)
and deliberately bypass the mechanism (D). Note that the first element of the tuple in each cell
of the table denotes payoff to A, the other to B, and each of a, b, c & d are positive numbers.
Under what conditions will player A always decide to play option D and player B always C?
