Abstract

A practical pricing mechanism is the foundation for the deploying of IP multicast in the inter-domain Internet. The IP multicast service model and its pricing mechanism are discussed in this paper, by considering the motivations of different partners in the process. A model named ICP-ISPs is proposed for applications in the real environments. In this model, the applied scenarios, resolving method and the complexity of algorithm are described. Here, the Internet is considered as an ecosystem. So our work gives a general discussion on the practical pricing mechanism based on the game theory for the stability of the economic development in the Internet.
