A Framework of Economic Traffic Management Employing Self-Organization Overlay Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Applications based on overlays have become very popular, due to the separation they provide and the improvement of perceived QoS by the end-user. Recent studies show that overlays have a significant impact on the traffic management and the expenditures of the underlying network operators. In this paper, we define a framework for Economic Traffic Management (ETM) mechanisms that optimize the traffic impact of overlay applications on ISP and telecommunication operator networks based on the interaction of network operators, overlay providers and users. We first provide a definition and an overview of SelfOrganization Mechanisms (SOMs) and ETM for overlays. We then describe a basic framework for the interaction of components of SOMs and ETM, in terms of information and metrics provided, decisions made etc. Finally, we describe in detail how SOMs can be used to support ETM and we illustrate our approach and its implications by means of a specific example.

Internet 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 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 کاملVICINITY: A Pinch of Randomness Brings out the Structure
Overlay networks are central to the operation of large-scale decentralized applications, be it Internet-scale P2P systems deployed in the wild or cloud applications running in a controlled—albeit large-scale—environment. A number of custom solutions exist for individual applications, each employing a tailormade mechanism to build and maintain its specific structure. This paper addresses the rol...
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...
