Title
On the use of QoS requirements as base of multicast charging
Abstract
1 This article is supported by Spanish Education Ministry (CICYT) under contract TEL99-0976. Abstract - In this paper, we propose a charging scheme for cost distribution along a multicast tree when cost is responsibility of the receivers. This scheme focuses on QoS considerations and it does not depend on any specific type of service. The scheme has been designed to be used as a bridge between unicast and multi- cast services, solving the problem of charging multicast services by means of unicast charging and existing QoS routing mecha- nisms. We also include a numerical comparison and discussions of the case of non-numerical or relative QoS and on the applica- tion to some service examples in order to give a better under- standing of the proposal.
