Abstract

In this paper the authors explore the effect of bandwidth sharing to the utility of the customer for the best-effort Internet services and draw a basis for the pricing principle in Internet Protocol networks. Especially, we investigate the behavior of a customer's utility in case an arbitrary amount of additional bandwidth is allowed to each customer for the elastic traffic, which is the typical example of the non-real time Internet data traffic. After drawing the utility curve, which will be proved to follow the concave curve, we will apply it to the pricing of Internet traffic. Finally, via numerical experiments, we will illustrate the validity and implication of the proposed method.

본 고에서는 최선형 인터넷 서비스에 대해서 대역공유량의 변화가 가지는 특성을 이론적으로 모델링하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 유틸리티에 기반한 요금정책을 제안하고 수치실험을 통해 제안방법의 의의와 효과에 대해 검토한다.
