Abstract

As Skype has become popular and a profitable business, the long-standing problem of how to deliver Skype calls deserves a serious revisit from an economic viewpoint. This study proposes a rate control mechanism for Skype calls that satisfies more users and satisfies users more than the greedy-naïve mechanism, as well as the mechanism implemented in Skype.
