M3I/JISC Approach
nEnd system based adaption – components:
–Network distributes congestion data via ECN marks
–Network Monitoring Agents distribute general load information to Tariff Agents
–Tariff Agents distribute current spot price per region by multicasting
region id (AS#?) plus price per kbps per rtt
–End user or
risk broker choose
rate
–End user may pay broker a long term price or choose to adapt to spot prince
–Metering and Adaption models are distributed signed and sealed to end users, who send franked packets using
them (otherwise packets are just BE)
