초록

이 논문은 QoS (Quality of Service) 네트워크 서비스를 위한 우선순위 방식의 스케줄링에서, 각 서비스 레벨의 가격을 정하는 문제를 분석한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 균형 분석 (equilibrium analysis)에 근거한 가격정책의 문제점을 파악하는 것에 중점을 둔다. 균형분석은 다음과 같은 두 가정하에 이루어진다. 첫째, 각각의 사용자들이 시스템 전체에 미치는 영향은 극히 미약하여 무시할 수 있다. 둘째, 사용자들은 전체 시스템 상태에 대한 최신의 정보를 알고 있다. 그러나 이러한 가정들은 실제 상황을 정확하게 반영하지 못하는 경우가 종종 있고, 따라서 균형분석에 의한 가격의 결정은 문제점이 있다고 본다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 작동상황을 분석하기 위해 '동적모델'을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 현존하는 균형분석 방법의 정확성을 평가하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 균형분석은 실제적인 환경에서의 시스템의 작동 현황을 정확하게 반영하지 못하는 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났다.

This paper analyzes the price-selection problem under priority-based scheduling for QoS (Quality of Service) network services, i.e., how to determine the price associated with each service level. In particular, we focus on the problems with the pricing mechanism based on equilibrium analysis. We claim that the assumptions needed to produce equilibrium nay not hold in some important environments. Specifically, (a) the individual user's impact on the system is not infinitesimal and (b) users do not always have up-to-date global system-status knowledge crucial for optimal user decisions required for equilibrium. These may make the equilibrium models inaccurate in realistic environments. We examine the accuracy of some existing equilibrium methods by using a dynamic model that we have developed for system behavior analysis. The analysis indicates that equilibrium methods fail to model accurately the system behavior in some realistic environments.
