Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system is described that adjusts the allocated capacity of a network between services, or service or traffic classes, in dependence on a congestion-influenced shadow price indication in respect of each service or class. In this respect, instead of viewing the congestion price as a cost of using already allocated unit of capacity, such a shadow price indication can be viewed as an indicator of the value obtainable from allocating an extra unit of capacity to a service or class. By so doing the shadow price indication becomes a factor to be taken into account in deciding on capacity allocation between services or classes, with a high shadow price indication for a service or class indicating that additional value would likely be obtained by allocating an additional unit of capacity to the service or class.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of allocating network capacity between a plurality of services, between a plurality of service classes, or between a plurality of traffic classes, on one or more links between nodes in a packet network, the method comprising: a) determining, using at least one computer processor, respective shadow price indications for the plurality of services, for the plurality of service classes, or for the plurality of traffic classes, the shadow price ind…
