There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

We study the pricing of point-to-point capacities corresponding to
different quality of service (QoS) classes in a simple
telecommunications network and under an efficient network routing. The network uncertainties come from point-to-point demand processes that are driven by Brownian motions. Our model gives an analytical QoS pricing
formula in terms of perfect quality prices and the parameters of the point-to-point demand processes. In the absence of perfect quality prices, a utility based pricing approach is used. The model is illustrated with a numerical example and the QoS-price curve is found to
be S-shaped.
