A novel, practical pricing strategy for congestion control and differentiated services

چکیده
Pricing is an effective tool to control congestion and achieve QoS provisioning for multiple differentiated levels of service. In this paper, we propose a practical, flexible and computationally simple pricing strategy that can achieve QoS provisioning in Differentiated Services networks with multiple priority classes at close to peak efficiency, while also maintaining stable transmission rates from end-users. In contrast to previous work in which dynamic pricing strategies are based on the state of congestion alone, our strategy adds a separate price component for the preferential service received by a packet. In addition, it utilizes a usercentric approach where a user is not charged a higher price unless preferential service is actually delivered.

Congestion control, differentiated services, and efficient capacity management through a novel pricing strategy
Pricing is an effective tool to control congestion and achieve Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning for multiple differentiated levels of service. In this paper, we propose a practical, flexible and computationally simple pricing strategy that can achieve QoS provisioning in Differentiated Services networks with multiple priority classes operating in an efficient economic market, while also ma...
متن کاملDistributed Dynamic Capacity Contracting: An overlay congestion pricing framework for differentiated-services architecture
Several congestion pricing proposals have been made in the last decade. Usually, however, those proposals studied optimal strategies and did not focus on implementation issues. Our main contribution in this paper is to address implementation issues for congestion-sensitive pricing over a single domain of the differentiated-services (diff-serv) architecture of the Internet. We propose a new cong...
متن کاملA Differentiated Pricing Framework for Improving the Performance of the Elastic Traffics in Data Networks
Rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. Most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is TCP. This is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. Moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by TCP affect other sessions...

متن کاملPricing Network Resources for Adaptive Applications in a Differentiated Services Network
The Differentiated Services framework (DiffServ) has been proposed to provide multiple Quality of Service (QoS) classes over IP networks. A network supporting multiple classes of service also requires a differentiated pricing structure. In this work, we propose a pricing algorithm in a DiffServ environment based on the cost of providing different levels of quality of service to different classe...
