We ana- lyze how bene cial is the determination of the original initiator of a trans- mission to the providers of di erent layers. The introduced model, where intercarrier compensation is based on the di erentiated tra c ows, was compared with the existing solution, which performs cost compensation based on the tra c ows. For our analysis we considered both unilateral and bilateral settlement arrangements. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059116/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059116/file/1569269571.pdf %L hal-01059116 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059116 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-LNCS-6091 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-NETWORKING %~ IFIP-2010
