....resource optimization problem. Unfortunately, monetary congestion pricing is not practical because it becomes entangled with the service charge which is largely business driven creating an unwanted tussle. It also violates users preference on pricing simplicity, stability, and predictability [81, 38, 5]. As a result, the prevailing charging model for network service is block rate charging, which comprises a fixed charge for usage within a block of usage time or bytes delivered, and a higher flat rate for any usage that exceeds the block amount. However, this type of charging model is vulnerable ....

....within a block of air time or bytes delivered, and a higher flat rate for any usage that exceeds the block amount. This type of charge is preferred by users because of price stability and predictability, and by service providers because of the simplicity of the design of the billing infrastructure [81, 38, 5]. However, this type of charging model is not sensitive to the di#erence between stable allocation for real time applications like streaming video and best e#ort allocation for bursty data applications like web transactions. Therefore, without an incentive structure a stable allocation service ....

....of service are fixed beforehand, but the user (flow) has to decide how much of its flow to send using each priority class. The effect of best effort traffic has been studied in [18] 23] and more recently in [24] Per session pricing models in multiclass loss networks have been considered in [25] [28] where the resource requirements for accepted calls in each class are reserved by some mechanism, such as RSVP, and the issue is to characterize pricing policies that maximize overall revenue or social welfare. In [27] for the single link case) and [28] for the network case) the ....

....control and usagebased pricing was shown in [ShCE96] Charging for different service classes introduced in [KiKR98] proposes charging for a service to be proportional to the link bit rate attainable by the service. The Expected Capacity Framework approach [ClFa97] adds soft QoS guarantees. In [FeDe98], methods for designing charging schemes for IP services with QoS have been presented. KaSW98] defined charging requirements and proposed a charging model for IP IntServ. In [KaSW99] models for deriving resource costs from an IntServ flow specification have been established.

We consider a generic tariffing scheme where costs of a receiver n n may depend on the reserved resources R nn , and the distance d n n m to the ingress router m . This generic scheme covers more specific charging schemes such as those presented in [FeDe98] and [KaSW99] For a unicast connection, the costs C nn, unicast can be expressed as CHARGING AND ACCOUNTING FOR QOS ENHANCED IP MULTICAST ) n n n n d R f C unicast n n n = 1) This generic notation covers more specific charging schemes such as those presented in [FeDe98] and [KaSW99] ....

....network capacity at the expense of those users that actually use these resources. Charging requirements are discussed in [22] focusing on Integrated Services, and in [2] focusing on Differentiated Services. Methods for designing charging schemes for IP services with QoS have been presented in [17] It is well accepted that flat rate charging for QoS enhanced IP services has severe shortcomings [30] Usage based charging can be based on reserved and or consumed resources, e.g. 17] proposed charging formula based on both reserved and consumed resources. Charging can be based on link bit ....

Methods for designing charging schemes for IP services with QoS have been presented in [17] It is well accepted that flat rate charging for QoS enhanced IP services has severe shortcomings [30] Usage based charging can be based on reserved and or consumed resources, e.g. 17] proposed charging formula based on both reserved and consumed resources. Charging can be based on link bit rate share used by the service [22] or on resource rate and buffer space [23] In [23] models are proposed for deriving resource costs from an IntServ flow specification.

....containing a multi dimensional flow specification. Our main contribution is a method to compare reservation requests and extract precise resource costs. Thereby, the practical use of an existing optimal pricing framework [WPS97] is simplified. We also briefly describe other fields of employment [FD98, HSE97] Finally, we show how resource costs can be used for price representation using RSVP charging mechanisms as described in [KSWS98] The structure of this paper follows the outline above. After discussing related work in Section 2, we discuss the IntServ service classes with respect to ....

....conditions . An imprecise service definition like this is highly unsuitable for commercial network services in the first place, because, as many authors point out, a charging scheme for transmission services requires a well defined quality definition and measurable performance objectives [KSWS98, FD98, Asa98, Gal97] While [Wro97] states implementation and evaluation guidelines for Controlled Load Proceedings of KiVS 99 (Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen) Darmstadt March 1999 service, there are still a number of implementation options left open. For different implementations, slightly ....
