| Abstract: | The authors study usage-sensitive charging schemes for broadband communications networks. The authors argue that a connection's "effective bandwidth" is a good proxy for the quantity of network resource that the connection consumes and can be the basis for a usage charge. The determination of effective bandwidth can be problematic, however, since it involves the moment-generating function of the cell arrival process, which may be difficult to model or measure. This article describes methods of computing usage charges. |
