« Technological and Economic Aspects for Quality
of Service in Multidomain Alliances »
Résumé :
Providing end-to-end quality-assured services implies many challenges, which go beyond technical ones, involving
as well economic and even cultural or political issues. In this thesis we first focus on a technical problem, providing a
solution to the computation of the maximum delay of traversing a network domain, as a tool for end-to-end QoS path
computation techniques. We then intent a more holistic regard to the whole problem, considering at the same time
Network Service Providers (NSPs), stakeholders and buyers' behaviour and satisfaction. In the multidomain context
Economic and policies become more complex. In this regard, NSPs alliances or federations are envisaged to
emerge in the near future as a means of selling end-to-end quality-assured services through interdomain networks.
This collaborative paradigm mainly responds to the ever increasing Internet traffic volumes that requires assured
quality, and constitutes a new business opportunity for NSPs. However, current Internet business rules are not likely
to satisfy all involved partners in this emerging scenario. How the revenue is shared among NSPs must be agreed in
advance, and should enforce economic incentives to join an alliance and remain in it, so that the alliance remains
stable. In this scenario, we study an propose solutions to the resource allocation problem and the subsequent
revenue sharing. In addition we propose a pricing scheme, which takes into account service performance, in order to
determine if buyers need to be reimbursed.
