Abstract
A game theoretic pricing mechanism for statistically guaranteed service in packet-switched networks is proposed. The mechanism provides congestion control, differentiated qualities of service, and efficient resource allocation. For users, the mechanism offers better quality and lower price. Service providers can base new service and revenue models within the mechanism. We apply this mechanism to the Internet.
