Pricing and QoS

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2856))

Abstract

In this chapter the state of the art of pricing for Internet services and its relation to Quality-of-Service (QoS) is addressed. Essential economic and technology basics, covering terms, accounting, and security are followed by a user-centered view, a content-based scheme, and a cost sharing approach.
