Abstract
We present a pricing mechanism which implements in Nash equilibria a rate allocation problem in unicast service provisioning. This mechanism is different from the ones which appear in the existing literature since it accounts for the strategic behavior of individual users and achieves efficient allocations. We provide some insight on how one may generalize our mechanism, and we determine a particular network structure under which this mechanism is informationally efficient
