Abstract. Traditional approaches to multipath routing ignore the economic incentives necessary in aligning both networks and users towards a common goal. While theory suggests cong...
We consider a communication network with fixed routing that can accommodate multiple service classes, differing in bandwidth requirements, demand pattern, call duration, and routin...
Pricing is considered a relevant way to control congestion and differentiate services in communication networks. Among all pricing schemes, auctioning for bandwidth has received a...
—A general framework is developed for networks with flows that use all available congestion signals to regulate their rates. It is conceptually a generalization of the existing ...
— In future networks based on the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture, users may be provided with the opportunity to choose their Assured Forwarding (AF) class. Users...
