Abstract :
Nowadays the proposed pricing strategies in the Internet are not efficient because they don´t take affect the end-users behavior and thus network resources are efficiently allocated. In order to build a competitive market pricing strategy, we propose a new approach that takes into account users and services profiles. This paper shows how to introduce these profiles in the Internet pricing strategy and how these profiles affect positively the network resources allocation in a DiffServ network.
