  • Abstract
    This paper looks at ways of providing quality of service (QoS) to users, based on a simple pricing scheme. It is primarily aimed at elastic traffic, and it is users rather than the network who define the flow control schemes. A framework for assessing schemes and algorithms via a distributed game is presented
