ETMS: A System for Economic Management of Overlay Traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of Economic Traffic Management (ETM) encompasses various techniques for optimizing overlay networks considering both, underlay and overlay networks’ performance requirements as well as the resulting economic implications for ISPs. This work presents several mechanisms through an overall ETM System (ETMS), identifying the possibility for synergies between mechanisms, both in the sense of complementarity of decision grounds and in the sense of functionality and components employed thereby. The paper describes the core ETMS architecture and how various mechanisms are instantiated. It continues with the discussion of the flexibility and modularity of this architecture, allowing for the accommodation of synergies. Finally, it presents selected results from the test-bed trials of the ETMS and a dedicated discussion on incentives behind these ETM mechanisms.

متن کاملEconomic Traffic Management: Mechanisms and Applications
The paradigm shift from centralized services into hundreds of thousands of decentralized services changes traffic directions and patterns in the Internet. In that light, overlay providers form logical communication topologies, which effect the underlying telcos’ as well as Internet Service Providers’ (ISP) traffic and network management. Thus, Economic Traffic Management (ETM) principles deal w...
متن کاملAssessment of Economic Management of Overlay Traffic: Methodology and Results
Overlay applications generate huge amounts of traffic in the Internet, which determines a problem for Internet Service Providers, since it results in high charges for inter-domain traffic. Traditional traffic management techniques cannot deal successfully with overlay traffic. An incentive-based approach that employs economic concepts and mechanisms is required in order to deal with the overlay...
متن کاملInternet Design Principles for Economic Traffic Management
Traditional traffic management techniques employed by Internet Service Providers (ISP) cannot successfully deal with the increasingly high volumes of overlay traffic and lead both overlay and underlay to sub-optimal behavior. Individual optimizations as performed on each different layer result in low Quality-of-Experience (QoE) for the overlay users and, therefore, limited business opportunitie...
متن کاملCollaboration between Peering ISPs for Economic Management of Overlay Traffic
The SIS (SmoothIT Information Service) entity has been introduced by FP7 project SmoothIT, to support Economic Traffic Management (ETM) for overlays. It is employed by ETM mechanisms in order to convey information between the overlay application and the underlay network. In this paper we present two different ways of cooperation between the SIS entities of different ISPs, in the case that these...
