Abstract
We describe how a packet network with a simple pricing mechanism and no connection acceptance control may be used to carry a telephony-like service with low packet loss and some call blocking. The packet network uses packet marking to indicate congestion and endsystems are charged a fixed small amount per mark received. The end-systems are thus provided with the information and the incentive to use the packet network efficiently. We demonstrate that algorithms embedded in the end-systems are able to synthesize a telephony-like service by blocking calls at times when the load in the packet network is high. 1.
