Collaborative Research: NeTS-FIND: Market-Enabling Network Architecture

0626397、0626738和0627161 Walrand et.本提案研究网络体系结构如何使网络服务市场和网络安全改进市场成为可能。研究的前提是经济激励推动技术的开发和部署。如果有一个供应商和购买者可以见面的市场，就存在这种激励措施。在今天的互联网中，这样的市场是缺失的。 例如，用户不能选择不同类型的通信服务。此外，缺乏改进安全措施的激励措施。 该研究探讨了改善用户选择和安全激励的潜在好处。这些益处取决于网络架构，包括不同类型的分组的差异化转发和分组上的定价戳。 该研究结合了用户效用和网络性能的模型，比较不同架构的好处。这项研究的潜在更广泛的影响是一组架构选择，使自由市场能够推动网络服务和安全性的实质性改善。

0626397, 0626738, and 0627161 Walrand et. alThis proposal studies how the network architecture can enable markets for network services and for security improvements of the network. The premise of the research is that economic incentives drive the development and deployment of technology. Such incentives exist if there is a market where suppliers and buyers can meet. In today's Internet, such a market is missing. For instance, users cannot choose different types of communication services. Also, incentives are missing for improved security measures. The research explores the potential benefits of improved user choice and of incentives for security. Such benefits depend on the network architecture, including differentiated forwarding of packets of various types and pricing stamps on packets. The study combines models of user utilities and network performance to compare the benefits of different architectures. The potential broader impact of this research is a set of architectural choices that would enable the free market to drive substantial improvement of the network services and security.
