We recently presented a methodology for quantitatively reducing the risk and cost of executing electronic transactions in a bursty network environment such as the Internet. In the language of portfolio theory, time to complete a transaction and its variance replace the expected return and risk associated with a security, whereas restart times replace combinations of securities. While such a strategy works well with single users, the question remains as to its usefulness when used by many. By using mean field arguments and agent-based simulations, we determine that a restart strategy remains advantageous even if everybody uses it.
