Asymmetric Network Interconnection

چکیده
We develop a model of competition between interconnected networks, that allows for carriers to differ in size. Under two-part pricing, we show that because of asymmetry the larger network will always prefer a reciprocal interconnection charge be set at cost. For sufficiently large asymmetry the smaller network will have the same preference. Under the assumptions of our model a particularly simple regulation is optimal – if carriers cannot agree on the terms of interconnection, the larger carrier is entitled to select the access price which is then applied reciprocally.

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 کاملPerformance Analysis of a New Neural Network for Routing in Mesh Interconnection Networks
Routing is one of the basic parts of a message passing multiprocessor system. The routing procedure has a great impact on the efficiency of a system. Neural algorithms that are currently in use for computer networks require a large number of neurons. If a specific topology of a multiprocessor network is considered, the number of neurons can be reduced. In this paper a new recurrent neural ne...

متن کاملTransit versus (Paid) Peering: Interconnection and Competition in the Internet Backbone Market
We examine the strategic interaction between interconnection and competition in the Internet backbone market. Networks asymmetric in size choose among different interconnection regimes, IP-Transit, Bill-and-Keep Peering, and Paid Peering, and compete for end-users. We show that sufficiently symmetric networks enter a Peering agreement while otherwise use an intermediary network for exchanging t...
متن کاملAdaptive asymmetric fuzzy neural network controller design via network structuring adaptation
This paper proposes a self-structuring fuzzy neural network (SFNN) using asymmetric Gaussian membership functions in the structure and parameter learning phases. An adaptive self-structuring asymmetric fuzzy neural-network control (ASAFNC) system which consists of an SFNN controller and a robust controller is proposed. The SFNN controller uses an SFNN with structure and parameter learning phase...
