4 1 Introduction
an economic model to support our architecture, showing that it can benefit the three
entities—ISP, content provider, and end-user [9,10]. In Chap.5, we extend our
system to have two-sided control, in which flow-level control by content providers
is augmented with device-level control by end-users; we develop methods to resolve
conflicts based on economic incentives [11]. We show how user-level control can be
extended beyond fast-lanes and slow-lanes to offer value-add services such as quota
management and parental controls, that can be executed in today’s home networks
[12–14], with or without ISP support in Chap.6, and conclude the thesis in Chap.7
with pointers to directions for future work.
