| Abstract | Operators of high-speed networks such as wide area carriers and Internet backbone service providers are concerned to implement simple charging schemes by which they can fairly recover costs from their customers and effectively allocate resources in their networks. When appropriately defined, the "effective bandwidth" of a connection is a good proxy for the quantity of network resource it consumes; therefore the effective bandwidth can be the basis for the usage charge that a connection should incur. This paper describes methods of computing such charges from simple measurements being duration and volume, and then relating these to bounds on the effective bandwidth. The incentive compatibility of the proposed scheme is displayed through an example involving deterministic multiplexing, and the accuracy of the approach is discussed in terms of experiments involving traces of real traffic. 1 ICS-FORTH and Department of Computer Science, University of Crete, PO Box 1385 GR 711 10 Heraklion... |
