Private peering refers to settlement-free connectivity agreements between Internet Service Providers meant to interconnect their networks by-passing congested National Access Points. We explore the incentives for bilateral peering with particular emphasis on traffic diversion. A private peering agreement between two providers improves the quality of both and would divert traffic from third parties. This provides an incentive for peering. A three-player model is introduced and analyzed…

InterGrid: a case for internetworking islands of Grids
TLDR
A model that promotes interlinking of islands of Grids through peering arrangements to enable InterGrid resource sharing and provides a scalable structure for Grids that allow them to interconnect with one another and grow in a sustainable way is proposed.

Provisioning Techniques and Policies for Resource Sharing between Grids
TLDR
An architecture for enabling resource sharing between Grids, based on the idea of peering arrangements between gateways that mediate access to the resources of interconnected Grids is presented, and a mechanism by which gateways can share resources under peak load conditions is described.

On the economics of Internet peering
We discuss economic rationales behind peering decisions in the Internet. In the first part of the paper we analyze the decision about a bilateral peering agreement between two commercial Internet…
Peering and Settlement in the Internet: An Economic Analysis
This paper explores the implications of Internet peering in the context of a model of competing, vertically integrated Internet Access Providers. We show that if regulation forbids settlement…
Internet Interconnection and the Off-Net-Cost Pricing Principle
TLDR
A framework for Internet backbone competition is developed, and when websites charge micropayments, or sell goods and services, the impact of the access charge on welfare is reduced; in particular, theAccess charge is neutral in a range of circumstances.
Internet service classes under competition
TLDR
This paper analyzes competition between two Internet service providers (ISPs), either or both of which may choose to offer multiple service classes, and suggests that PMP may not be viable under competition.
Structural holes in social networks
Connectivity in the Commercial Internet
TLDR
It is shown that a larger backbone prefers a lower quality interconnection than the smaller one, and a "targeted degradation" strategy where the larger backbone lowers the quality of interconnection to its smaller rivals in turn is analyzed.
Monopolistic competition with outside goods
The Chamberlinian monopolistically competitive equilibrium has been explored and extended in a number of recent papers. These analyses have paid only cursory attention to the existence of an industry…

Pricing the Internet
TLDR
Some of the technology and costs relevant to pricing access to and usage of the Internet, and the components of an efficient pricing structure are described and a possible smart-market mechanism for pricing traffic on the Internet is suggested.
