Pricing Differentiated Services Networks: Bursty Traffic
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the role of pricing in Differentiated Services (DiffServ) networks. We model DiffServ as a priority service, where users are given the freedom to choose the priorities of their traffic, but are charged accordingly. Using a game theoretic framework, we study the case where users choose an allocation of priorities to packets in order to optimize their net benefit. For the case where users with bursty traffic access a single link, we show that there always exists an equilibrium for the corresponding noncooperative game. Furthermore we show that pricing can be used to provide relative QoS guarantees. Keywords—Differentiated Services, Quality-of-Service, Pricing.

Effect of Higher Priority EF Traffic on TCP Throughput and Fairness
In this paper, we study the effect on TCP of assigning higher-priority to traffic requesting Expedited Forwarding (EF) service in a Differentiated Services network. We analyze networks in which (1) EF traffic occupies different fractions of link bandwidth and is bursty at different time-scales; and (2) multiple TCP flows with heterogeneous round trip times share the network with the EF traffic....
متن کاملPolymorphic control for cost-effective design of optical networks
A WDM optical layer can provide differentiated services to various upper layer protocols by forming many virtual optical networks (VONs). Polymorphic control of an optical layer in the form of On-demand-reconfiguration in some VONs and Self-reconfiguration in other VONs is proposed. The former is suitable for bursty traffic and short-lived connections, and the latter is for steady traffic and l...
متن کاملEffects of bursty traffic in service differentiated Optical Packet Switched networks.
Service differentiation is a crucial issue in the next -generation Optical Packet Switched networks. In this paper we examine how bursty traffic influences the performance of a service differentiated Optical Packet Switched network. By using time -continuous Markov chains, we derive explicit results for the packet loss rates in the case of a bursty hyper-exponential arrival process. Results ind...
متن کاملA proposal of new price-based Call Admission Control rules for Guaranteed Performance services multiplexed with Best Effort traffic
Pricing for the use of telecommunication services is an issue widely treated in the literature. In the last years it has received a growing attention in order to establish various fairness criteria in the bandwidth allocation for each type of traffic class. A number of pricing models have been proposed and analyzed in the context of Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteed networks (e.g. ATM, IP Int...

Internet applications are growing rapidly. The requirement of QoS by these applications varies from very lenient to strict. Maintaining QoS is one of the most typical and challenging task in such scenario. Differentiated services architecture is very popular in such scenario. Differentiated Services is a practical method to implement traffic based service differentiation works on traffic aggreg...
