PROJECT TITLE :

An economic model for a new broadband ecosystem based on fast and slow lanes

ABSTRACT:

These days's residential broadband ecosystem is in stasis: ISPs suffer from low margins and flat revenues, content service providers (CSPs) have unclear incentives to invest in broadband infrastructure, and users have restricted dimensions (speed/quota) in that to check broadband pricing. This article explores the utilization of service quality capabilities, in the form of fast and slow lanes, for overcoming this stasis. We propose an design in that all entities throw in: CSPs request dynamic fast and slow lane creation for specific sessions, ISPs operate and charge for these lanes, and users control their broadband bandwidth out there to such lanes. We have a tendency to develop an economic model that balances quick and slow lane pricing by the ISP with the returns for CSPs and repair quality improvement for finish users, and evaluate the parameters of our model with real traffic traces. We tend to believe our proposal primarily based on dynamic quick and slow lanes can represent a win-win-win situation for ISPs, CSPs, and end users alike, and has the potential to beat the present stagnation in broadband infrastructure investment.
