....out of the economy due to high prices. Therefore, it is advantageous to shield these users from unpredictable price fluctuations. In this paper, a multi market approach for bandwidth allocation is presented. Multi market methods have been proposed for allocating link bandwidth and bu#er space [5, 11]; however the primary focus was not to provide price or QoS stability. In our approach link bandwidth is bought and sold in two types of markets: the reservation market and the spot market. In the reservation market, bandwidth is bought and sold in amounts for a duration of time. Bandwidth ....

....more attention in both the research community and the private sector. A review of pricing and networks can be found in [11] Some research deals strictly with cost recovery and or profit maximization [5] Alternatively, some research has applied economics to resource allocation and flow control [1, 6, 7, 13, 15, 19, 20, 26]. In general, these methods set prices to influence the bandwidth demands of the users. For example, Ferguson, et al. introduced a virtual circuit flow control method based on pricing link bandwidth [6] Prices in the network are adjusted until an equilibrium of supply and demand is reached. They ....

....terms of reserved resources) and retail them to end users. Some of these resellers (referred to as users in the sequel) may themselves own resources and can therefore either purchase services from the network or sell services to other resellers, depending for example on the current prices. In [16] we consider the interaction among end users who can only purchase services from the network (see remarks after equation (1) in x2) In the next section, we describe a model of allocating variable bandwidth and buffer, summarize and interpret our main results, and comment on related works. In the ....

....who can only buy resources from, but not sell them through, the network. Another variant is to further remove the budget constraint, allowing end users to purchase more resources than their current holdings and enjoy higher quality, or less to save. Both variants are meaningful and are treated in [16]. The nonnegativity constraint turns out to destroy some of the simple structures of the equilibrium allocations and prices and greatly complicates the analysis. 4 Some qualitative properties however, such as strictly positive holdings of variable resources in equilibrium, do persist. The ....

....them to maximize their own benefits. The interpretation is that a source that desires only fixed bandwidth in the model would subscribe to CBR in practice and a source that desires both fixed and variable bandwidth would subscribe to ABR with a minimum cell rate guarantee. We show in [24] [25] that at equilibrium, where all sources are at their optimality and demand equals supply, every source desires a strictly positive amount of variable bandwidth. This observation provides perhaps another motivation for end to end flow control, for reactive flow control, where sources adjust ....
