Interconnection and competition among asymmetric networks in the Internet backbone market
We examine the interrelation between interconnection and competition in the Internet backbone market. Networks that are asymmetric in size choose among different interconnection regimes and compete for end-users. We show that a direct interconnection regime, peering, softens competition as compared to indirect interconnection since asymmetries become less influential when networks peer. If inte...

متن کاملAn Economic Analysis of Interconnection Arrangements Between Internet Backbone Providers
Transit and peering arrangements among Internet Backbone Providers (IBPs) are essential for the global delivery of communication services on the Internet. In addition, to support delay sensitive applications (e.g., streaming and multimedia applications) it is important for IBPs to maintain high service quality even if the network is congested. One promising approach is to establish interconnect...
متن کاملMarket-Based QoS Interconnection Economy in the Next-Generation Internet
Technical and regulatory changes motivate the economics of the interconnections to be re-examined for the next-generation Internet.
