Therefore, these ISPs have to reduce their overall cost of interconnection. In order to address this issue, Internet exchange points (IXPs) have been built up in recent years...
متن کاملPricing and Forwarding Games for Inter-domain Routing
We address the question of strategic pricing of interdomain traffic forwarding services provided by ISPs, which is also closely coupled with the question of how ISPs route their traffic towards their neighboring ISPs. Posing this question as a non-cooperative game between neighboring ISPs, we study the properties of this pricing game in terms of the existence, computability, and efficiency of t...

متن کاملCoalitionally stable pricing schemes for inter-domain forwarding
In this work, we model and analyze the problem of stable and efficient pricing for interdomain traffic routing in the future Internet. We consider a general network topology with multiple sources and sinks of traffic, organized into separate domains managed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) solely interested in maximizing their own profit. In this framework, we prove that there exists a pric...
