Sub-project AUCTION of EuroNGI

Participants : Patrick Maillé, Bruno Tuffin.

We coordinate the AUCTION project funded for 2005 by the network of excellence EuroNGI, to work on inter-domain pricing by means of auctions. We aim at defining the way different ISPs could negotiate exchanges to transport their own traffic (e.g. through a redefinition or generalization of BGP, the Border Gateway Protocol). This work is in collaboration with Prism laboratory (Université de Versailles-St Quentin), The University of Cantalabria, Athens University of Economics and Business, and the University of Roma 2.
