A Scalable Pricing Model for Bandwidth Allocation

In this paper, we present a scalable pricing model for dynamic bandwidth allocation combined with simulation scenarios that demonstrate different aspects of a scalable service delivery model and at the same time guarantees a good level of resource utilization. The model allows for increasing the revenue while maintaining an acceptable level of quality of service (QoS) for users. Simulation results of our model show that selecting an appropriate bandwidth allocation policy can reduce the number of blocked users, achieve increased revenue, as well as improve resource utilization without compromising user specified QoS levels.
