Overview:

This paper considers interactions of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and how these interactions can affect the overall traffic and resource allocation between ISPs. In particular, the paper considers a simplified two-level hierarchical model wherein there are a single tier-1 ISP and N>1 tier-2 ISPs. Each tier-2 ISP needs to pay the tier-1 ISP for the connectivity service. At the same time, a tier-2 ISP can also arrange to have "Private peering" links with other tier-2 ISPs. Therefore, each tier-2 ISP can optimize its utility by deciding on the proper traffic routing of transmitting traffic, either via the tier-1 ISP link, or via the private peering link with other tier-2 ISPs.
