“…Recently, Bob Briscoe has extensively discussed the shortcomings of the flow rate fairness paradigm 19–21 and has designed a scheme called re‐ECN §22 to achieve what he refers to as ‘cost fairness.’ The re‐ECN scheme is a concrete proposal as to how price can be put on the congestion that users cause, achieving cost fairness as a result. Re‐ECN aims to close the loopholes exploited by the P2P traffic; therefore, fair use of the network by all traffic types including the P2P traffic is supposed to follow naturally after deployment of re‐ECN.…”

SUMMARY The ever‐increasing share of the peer‐to‐peer (P2P) traffic flowing in the Internet has unleashed new challenges to the quality of service provisioning. Striving to accommodate the rise of P2P traffic or to curb its growth has led to many schemes being proposed: P2P caches, P2P filters, ALTO mechanisms and re‐ECN. In this paper, we propose a scheme named ‘UARA:textbfUser/Application‐aware RED‐based AQM’ which has a better perspective on the problem: UARA is proposed to be implemented at the edge routers providing real‐time near‐end‐user traffic shaping and congestion avoidance. UARA closes the loopholes exploited by the P2P traffic by bringing under control the P2P users who open and use numerous simultaneous connections. In congestion times, UARA monitors the flows of each user and caps the bandwidth used by ‘power users’ which leads to the fair usage of network resources. While doing so, UARA also prioritizes the real‐time traffic of each user, further enhancing the average user quality of experience (QoE). UARA hence centralizes three important functionalities at the edge routers: (1) congestion avoidance; (2) providing user fairness; (3) prioritizing real‐time traffic. The simulation results indicate that average user QoE is significantly improved in congestion times with UARA at the edge routers. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Resource management would be based on perflow scheduling but without the complication of explicitly distinguishing multiple flow types or requiring a priori knowledge of flow characteristics. Trilogy advocates instead to perform flow-oblivious traffic and resource management relying on price signals to govern bandwidth sharing [5].…”

“…For example, instead of monitoring the traffic volume sent by an end-user, ISPs are able to replace volume allowances by congestion allowances for their customers [4]. Such SLAs are compatible with the economic principles, as they take into account the negative network externalities (in terms of congestion) a user is causing [5].…”

“…Re-feedback of Explicit Congestion Notification (Re-ECN) [2] is designed to provide the network with information about the expected level of congestion along the entire path. A policer within the re-ECN framework could be used for making possible flat rate, congestion allowance contracts [4], [6]. Congestion Exposure (Conex) [3] stands for an extension of the re-ECN, which removes the dependency on ECN by detecting the packet losses [7]- [9].…”

Abstract-New Internet protocols such as ECN, re-ECN and Conex, provide valuable information to ISPs about the congestion within a network. Such information could be useful in allocating network resources more equitably, as well as to employ new pricing schemes. However, in designing a new protocol one must take proper account of the incentive issues that thereby arise for its adoption. In this paper, we consider a duopoly market consisting of two access ISPs and formulate a noncooperative game over their choices of pricing strategies when one of them uses volume-based and the other congestionbased pricing. We prove, under mild conditions, the existence of a pure strategy Nash equilibrium for the competing providers. We further examine how the different types of transit charges affect the pricing strategies of the access ISPs. We find cases where the volume charging ISP is forced to leave the access market. We conclude that ISPs have economic incentives to adopt congestion accountability mechanisms, since they become more competitive due to the smoother and more predictable traffic they have to accommodate and to the lower transit charges they incur.
