Abstract
As the Internet evolves into a global commercial infrastructure, there is a growing need to support more enhanced services than the traditional best-effort service. This paper describes an architecture of provisioning guaranteed Internet services. Unlike conventional QoS mechanisms such as Intserv and Diffserv, this architecture enables Internet resource management through market forces, e.g., pricing. A detailed analysis of two scenarios of the underlying IP network has been presented: ECN capable and Diffserv. We concentrate on the pricing model, its implications for traffic management (e.g., admission control) and possible example services. A simulation framework is also discussed.
