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)
