In this paper, we have proposed a novel re-marking strategy at tbe ingressive edge router to improve TCP fairness of DiffServ Assured Services. Our re-marking strategy introduces a configuration method of the Temporary Permitted Rate (TPR). By using this new configuration method of TPR, IN packets of greedy TCP flows are re-marked to OUT packets pertinently and constantly whenever the network traffic changes. Simulation Results show that this novel re-marking strategy can regulate the packet transmission rate of each TCP flow to the contract rate without a decrease in the link utilization.

Bandwidth Trading(BT) represents a potential market with over 1 trillion USD across the world and high growth potential. BT is also likely to accelerate globalization of the telecommunications industry and massive restructuring driven by unbundling rush. However, systematic researches on BT remain at an infant stage. This study starts with structure analysis of the Internet industry, and discusses significance of Internet interconnection with respect to BT issues. We also describe the bandwidth commoditization trends and review technical requirements for effective Internet interconnection with BT capability. Taking a step further, this study explores the possibility of improving efficiency of network providers and increasing user convenience by developing an architectural prototype of Hub-&-Spoke interconnection model required to facilitate BT. The BT market provides an innovative base to ease rigidity of two-party contract and increase service efficiency. However, as fair, efficient operation by third party is required, this research finally proposes an exchanging hub named NIBX(New Internet Business eXchange).
