Traffic regulation with single- and dual-homed ISPs under a percentile-based pricing policy |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
We investigate how a customer (an enterprise or a large organization), when facing a percentile-based pricing policy, can
optimally balance the Internet access cost and the traffic buffering delay penalty by traffic regulation. The problem is referred
to as the Optimal Traffic Regulation (OTR) problem. Solutions to various cases of the OTR problem are provided. For a customer
with a single-homed ISP, we present optimal solutions to the OTR problem based on dynamic programming for the offline case
with a known traffic demand pattern. A real-time traffic scheduling algorithm is proposed to deal with the online case where
the traffic demands are different from a given demand pattern. We further extend the dynamic programming model to the case
of dual-homed ISPs. Experimental results on the data from an Internet trace confirm the effectiveness of our solutions. |
