Abstract

Chapter 7 has discussed the impact of bandwidth on throughput in packet switched networks as a function of incident traffic. Chapter 9 has followed up and developed a pricing scheme for circuit switched networks. The pricing scheme in Chap. 9 was based on cost of lost opportunity rather than the consumption of resources. This chapter proposes a similar approach to pricing packet switched network services. We first compute the resource requirement which is consistent with the quality of service required for the given volume of traffic for a specific network. Once the resource requirement is known, pricing is determined based on what level of revenue that resource would have generated if it were deployed in the most efficient manner.
