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 …

We consider the decentralized bandwidth/rate allocation problem in unicast service
provisioning with strategic users. We present a mechanism/game form which possesses the …

We consider the decentralized bandwidth/rate allocation problem in unicast service
provisioning with strategic users. We present a mechanism/game form that has the following …

The optimal flow control of noncooperative users in multiservice networks is investigated in a
game-theoretic way. We adopt a model that differs from previously considered ones in that a …

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 …

The design of pricing mechanisms for network resource allocation has two important
objectives: 1) a simple and scalable end-to-end implementation and 2) efficiency of the …

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 …

In this paper we consider the scenario of unicast service on the Internet where a network
operator wishes to allocate rates among strategic users in a way that maximizes overall user …

In a communication network, a good rate allocation algorithm should reflect the utilities of the
users while being fair. We investigate this fundamental problem of achieving the system …

We consider a network where strategic agents, who are contesting for allocation of
resources, are divided into fixed groups. The network control protocol is such that within …
