Abstract :
We summarize some recent results in noncooperative network games pertaining to multi-class QoS provision. They are of relevance to the design of networks capable of provisioning QoS-sensitive and differentiated services, a major challenge facing next generation networks. We first describe the single-switch (or LAN) system followed by work in many-switch (or WAN) systems
