초록

가까운 미래에 우리는 기존의 정액제 요금에서 종량제가 첨가되는 것과 같은 인터넷서비스의 요금체계에 변화를 맞이할 것이다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 움직임에 대비하여 차세대 네트워크에서 서비스품질이 보장되는 인터넷 서비스에 대한 사용량기반의 과금체계를 제안하고자 한다. 먼저, IP 네트워크에서 가장 주류를 이룰 Assured service에 의해서 발생되는 적응성이 있는 트래픽의 특성을 살펴보고, 이어서 네트워크 대역의 사용량에 기반한 과금방안을 제안한다. 그리고, 어떤 형태의 Assured service에도 적용 가능한 과금함수를 제안하고, 간단한 수치계산을 통하여 제안하는 방법의 유효성에 대하여 기술한다.

In the near future we can expect a change in charging the Internet service. The flat charging maybe replaced with a usage-based charging. In line with this movement, we propose a method of charging the assured-quality Internet services for the next generation network by introducing a UBC (usage-based charging) scheme over the conventional flat charging platform. First, we investigate the attribute of elastic traffic generated by assured services in IP network. Next, we propose a new method to relate the bandwidth usage with the pricing for the elastic traffic, which is based partially on the usage rate of the network bandwidth. Next, we propose a charging function for elastic traffic, which is applicable to any type of assured Internet services. Finally, we discuss the implication of the work via simple numerical experiments.
