User-centered control of quality of service

作为互联网用户，我们期望以统一的价格获得广泛的服务，并拥有一个不断扩大的“数据管道”，使我们能够更快地传输更大的电影。这种模式是否具有商业意义或理论意义并不是我们的重点。相反，我们认为在某些情况下，我们将达到网络容量的极限，如果不是在访问中，那么就会进一步在网络内部。在这种情况下，差异化服务模型可以帮助更多的性能关键型应用程序，但哪些是关键应用程序，以及如何在不破坏Internet模型和让ISP控制我们的环境的情况下识别它们。在这个项目中，我们对互联网中端到端服务的服务类的用户控制进行了调查。我们计划证明这种模式的合理性，为通用互联网接入提供大规模用户满意度，但也为运营商提供了有用性，因为它提供了基于消费的收入模型。这种模式是独一无二的，因为它保留了用户选择和部署应用程序的自由，同时允许ISP帮助用户区分服务，并最大限度地减少两者之间的交换。

As users of the Internet, we have come to expect to receive a large range of services for a flat rate, and to have an ever widening ``data pipe'' allowing us to transfer bigger movies faster. Whether or not such a model makes business sense or theoretical sense is not our point. Rather, we consider that there are still occasions when we will reach the limit of the capacity of the network, if not in the access, then further inside the networks. In such a case, a differentiated-services model can be useful to help more performance-critical applications, but which are the critical applications, and how can they be recognized without breaking the Internet model and giving the ISP control over our environment.In this project we pursue an investigation on the user control of service classes for end-to-end services in the Internet. We plan to demonstrate the soundness of such a model to deliver large-scale user satisfaction for generic Internet access, but also its usefulness for the operator as it offers a model for consumption-based revenues.This model is unique as it preserves the freedom of choice of the user to choose and deploy applications, while yet allowing the ISP to help the user with a service differentiation, and minimizes exchanges between the two.
