IP Services Market: Modelling, Research, and Reality

In the process of implementation and deployment of modelbased tool for simulation, forecasting, decision support and optimisation, there discrepancies may emerge between the understanding of R&D team and the end user. Their origin is in the variety of optimisation problems a model is able to generate, depending on its parameters. A broad description of a market model for network services is given. Next, a case study follows that indicates a strategy for reduction of problems appearing while the product is handed over to the customer.
