Abstract

We present a model for incorporating pricing in connection oriented networks. The allocation of bandwidth between competing users take the form of a noncooperative game mediated by a usage based billing policy. The network on the other hand adjusts the bandwidth price to maximize its revenue generated from the users. We analyze the Nash equilibrium for the resource allocation game and present an algorithm for attaining the optimal network price. The users’ rate algorithms are extended to include the case of non-Poisson arrival processes. Possible applications include circuit switched optical networks, next generation wireless and label-switched networks.
