Our methodology establishes a direct link between service profitability, for example, from advertising, user and subscriber loyalty, interconnection costs, and finally bandwidth price for peering. Unlike existing work in both the networking and economics literature, our resulting computational model, built around Nash bargaining, can be used for deriving quantitative results comparable to actual market prices. We analyze the U.S. market and derive prices for video, that compare favorably with existing prices for transit and paid peering. We also observe that the fair prices returned by the model for high-profit\/low-volume services such as search, are orders of magnitude higher than current bandwidth prices. This implies that resolving existing (fierce) interconnection tussles may require per service, instead of wholesale, peering between A-ISPs and CSPs. Our model can be used for deriving initial benchmark prices for such negotiations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2883610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,15]],"date-time":"2016-04-15T12:29:25Z","timestamp":1460723365000},"page":"1-22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Negotiating Premium Peering Prices"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Costas","family":"Courcoubetis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore University of Technology and Design, 8 Somapah Road, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laszlo","family":"Gyarmati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qatar Computing Research Institute, Doha, Qatar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Laoutaris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Telefonica Research and Development, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Telefonica Research and Development, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kostas","family":"Sdrolias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Athens University of Economics and Business, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","unstructured":"AFP. 2011.
