M3I/JISC Approach
n End 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)
