-In traditional and centralized setups, a set of legal agreements is used to govern the relationships between entities, align the incentives of all participants, and discourage disruptive behaviour. These agreements offer the basic level of trust to ensure good behavior by all entities in the system (clearly stating the SLA, and punishments for misbehaving or not fulfilling the contract). We currently see this setup in the multilateral agreements between CDNs, ISPs, and Cloud Providers to share resources from their infrastructures for a certain price in order to build a network of relationships that allow them to provide their content delivery services efficiently.
