In this paper, we investigate and model interactions and incentives between competing ISPs employing different pricing strategies (dynamic congestion-based pricing vs. volume pricing). We focus here on a scenario where all users are considered to be multihomed. Keywordsmultihoming; pricing; congestion marks; future Internet
