| Abstract | The main function of the expected capacity framework is to help define service profiles for each user. It is also useful in designing a mechanism in the router that favors traffic in those service profiles. The idea of this mechanism is to monitor the traffic of each user when their packets enter the network, and to tag packets as being in or out of each service profile. Then, in congested router, preferentially dropped packets are tagged as being out. When there is no congestion, routers will treat in packets and out packets equally. By this way of operation, it can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controllable and predictable way during network congestion. This framework allows the network service provider to charge different prices to different users with different service requirements. In this research, we study and compare three charging schemes i.e., flat rate, meter charging and packet charging. The performances of the users at different charging schemes under the expected capacity are simulated. Three different scenarios of charging model are compared. The performances among users are differentiated according to their service profiles, particularly the contracted rates. Under the expected capacity framework, the packet charging is proposed as a new charging scheme for the undropped packets during congestion. |
