A virtual credit exchange protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) is proposed to enforce the cooperation of packet forwarding. In this protocol, each node decides a price i.e. the number of credits) charged for forwarding a unit amount of traffic (i.e. one data packet). One node's pricing decision only depends on the prices of nodes that are going to forward packets for it. Each node updates its price adaptively and distributively. Under certain condition of the demand relationship between all nodes, this protocol converges to a unique price solution and provides sustainable and stable credit levels for all nodes.
