Abstract

In this paper, we present a scalable pricing model for dynamic bandwidth allocation. Using simulation we demonstrate that service providers can achieve increased revenue as well as better resource utilization without compromising user specified levels of Quality of Service (QoS). Our model allows for increasing the revenue while maintaining an acceptable level of QoS, this is done by selecting an appropriate bandwidth allocation policy, to reduce the number of blocked users.
