Abstract :
The paper deals with technical aspects of network neutrality. General concept of network neutrality is elaborated and two problems are identified: the problem of network capacity and traffic management. The experimental network model is proposed with regard to different classes of Internet services and bandwidth. Each class represents a set of users with similar web related interests/needs and includes different combinations of web based services corresponding to specific user interests and online activities. The bandwidth allocations are based on quality of experience (QoE) measures. The proposed model is evaluated on the Croatian academic network topology. Evaluation results propose number of users per each class depending on the available bandwidth.
