目前的互联网互连框架，基于过境和结算自由对等关系，有系统性的问题，往往会导致对等纠纷。一再发生的引人注目的事件表明，这种不幸的事态阻碍了改善互联网性能，有时甚至导致大规模的互联网中断。本文基于博弈论和经济学中的纳什讨价还价原理，提出了一种新的技术经济互联框架纳什对等。纳什对等构成了对当前互连实践的彻底背离，提供了更广泛、更经济高效的域间关系。特别是，支付的方向不是由流量的方向或刚性的客户-提供商关系决定的，而是基于哪个AS从互连中获益更多。我们认为，纳什对等可以解决各种类型的对等纠纷的根本原因。
The current framework of Internet interconnections, based on transit and settlement-free peering relations, has systemic problems that often cause peering disputes. Repeated high-profile incidents show that this unfortunate state of affairs stands in the way of better Internet performance, sometimes even leading to large-scale Internet outages. We propose a new techno-economic interconnection framework called Nash-Peering, which is based on the principles of Nash Bargaining in game theory and economics. Nash-Peering constitutes a radical departure from current interconnection practices, providing a broader and more economically efficient set of interdomain relations. In particular, the direction of payment is not determined by the direction of traffic or by rigid customer-provider relationships but based on which AS benefits more from the interconnection. We argue that Nash-Peering can address the root cause of various types of peering disputes.
