带宽交换体系结构
The Bandwidth Exchange Architecture
摘要：
诸如视频点播、网格计算等的因特网的新应用依赖于具有可接受的服务质量（QoS）的高带宽连接的可用性。因此，似乎需要有一个可以进行与带宽有关的交易的市场。为了使这个市场有效，它必须对带宽的提供者（卖方）和用户（买方）都有效。这意味着：（a）买方必须具有在竞争环境中操作的提供商的广泛选择，（b）卖方必须被保证QoS交易将由客户支付，以及（c）QoS交易建立必须具有低的开销，使得它可以由单独的客户使用，而不会对提供商造成显著的负担。为了满足这些要求，我们提出了一个框架，允许客户购买带宽使用一个开放的市场，供应商广告的链接和容量和客户竞标这些服务。这种模式接近于既提供预订（期货）又提供现货市场的商品市场。我们探讨的机制，可以支持这样一个模型。
英文摘要：
New applications for the Internet such as video on demand, grid computing etc. depend on the availability of high bandwidth connections with acceptable Quality of Service (QoS). There appears to be, therefore, a requirement for a market where bandwidth-related transactions can take place. For this market to be effective, it must be efficient for both the provider (seller) and the user (buyer) of the bandwidth. This implies that: (a) the buyer must have a wide choice of providers that operate in a competitive environment, (b) the seller must be assured that a QoS transaction will be paid by the customer, and (c) the QoS transaction establishment must have low overheads so that it may be used by individual customers without a significant burden to the provider. In order to satisfy these requirements, we propose a framework that allows customers to purchase bandwidth using an open market where providers advertise links and capacities and customers bid for these services. The model is close to that of a commodities market that offers both advance bookings (futures) and a spot market. We explore the mechanisms that can support such a model.
