Abstract

In this chapter we model certain aspects of the interaction among VoIP firms. To be precise, we focus on the re-routing problem as presented in Sect. 4.4. To this end, we establish a coalitional game where the VoIP firms as players can achieve gains through cooperation. These gains result from the long distance fees that are dropped under peering agreements, and we incorporate elements of network theory to model the peering relationships. Because the characteristic function takes into account the peering network, what we called a game above is actually a communication situation, see Sect. 3.3.
