Abstract

We propose a pricing mechanism for statistically guaranteed service in packet-switched networks. The mechanism provides congestion control and efficient resource allocation. For users, the mechanism offers better quality and lower price. Service providers can base service and revenue models in the mechanism. We apply this mechanism to the Internet.
