A Pricing Mechanism and Revenue Sharing in Network Service Providers Alliances |
| Abstract: |
Network Service Providers alliances are envisioned to emerge in the near future as a means of selling end-to-end quality assured services through interdomain networks. Several aspects of such a community must be discussed in order to assure its economical and technical viability. Within the economic ones, pricing and revenue sharing are key aspects on which all alliance’s members must agree. In this context, we present a framework where services are sold via first-price auctions and incomes are formulated as the solution of a Network Utility Maximization problem. Then, we discuss the revenue sharing problem in such context, express the desirable properties of a revenue sharing method, argue why the existing methods are not suitable, and propose a family of solutions. |
