Abstract:

The underlying objective of the work presented in this paper is to create an active multi-service network which uses pricing to manage supply and demand of resources. The paper describes a dynamic pricing framework designed to support a radical approach to usage-based charging for packet-switched networks. This approach addresses the scalability problem normally associated with usage-based charging by shifting responsibility for accounting over to customer systems, which are also assigned the task of applying taris to create a bill. In this context, the role of the dynamic pricing framework is to enable a provider to establish `active taris ' and communicate them to customer systems. These taris take the form of mobile code for maximum exibility, and the framework uses an auditing process to provide a level of protection against incorrect execution of this code on customer systems. In contrast to many active networks proposals, the processing load is moved away from routers to the edge of the network. 1
