Abstract
The authors describe steps toward an accounting mechanism to attribute Internet resource consumption based on service quality. Their objective is not to describe a complete accounting and billing system. Rather they advocate taking advantage of existing Internet instrumentation to implement incremental improvements in the short to medium term. Experience from these improvements can allow more educated progress towards a comprehensive Internet accounting system
