The goal of this paper is to study pricing of differentiated services and its impact on the
choice of service priority at equilibrium. We consider both TCP connections as well as …

We consider TCP and real-time connections sharing a bottleneck buffer using RED. The
latter gives differentiated services to the applications according to their choice of service …

We consider in this paper a set of connections sharing a common bottleneck link. We
assume first that we have data transfer using TCP congestion control protocol and real-time …

In this chapter, we study two types of pricing mechanisms: one where the goal of the pricing
scheme is to achieve some socially beneficial objective for the network and the other where …

We study the role of pricing in Di erentiated Services (Di Serv) networks. We model Di Serv
as a priority service, where users are given the freedom to choose the priorities of their tra c …

We study the role of pricing in packet-based telecommunication networks which use
priorities to provide di erentiated Quality-of-Service (QoS). Customers are given the freedom …

We compare buffer management policies that offer differentiated services to TCP traffic, with
the goal of providing some sort of performance guarantees to a premium class of traffic …

This paper builds on the model and results of T. Basar and R. Srikant,(2002) and extends
them to the case of differentiated prices, again for the single link case. It introduces a …

We model the interaction between the network and the network users as a noncooperative
game and study the Nash equilibrium points (NEP) of the game. We show that there is a …

We present a pricing mechanism which implements in Nash equilibria a rate allocation
problem in unicast service provisioning. This mechanism is different from the ones which …
