Abstract

This paper presents an agent system for bandwidth allocation in reservation-based networks, using Vickrey auctions and an evolutionary algorithm. Our evolutionary approach performs the bandwidth allocation to agents which bid for networks resources by means of willingness-to-pay functions. It also calculates in a parallel way the price to be paid to the network's owner. We tackle the case of one-link, and its extension to a network. Simulations performed have shown the main advantages and problems inherent to this model
