The Internet comprises tens of thousands of networks (Autonomous Systems) operated by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that exchange traffic with each other at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), to save on transit costs and bring content closer to their consumers. IXPs act as giant switches for groups of ISPs to exchange traffic and have a significant role in today's Internet as much of the traffic flows through IXPs. Stability and efficiency of ISP connectivity and peering relationships that form at these IXPs are crucial to long-term sustainability and scalability of the Internet. In the current practice, however, the price paid for traffic exchange at an IXP is typically determined by coarse, static measures that can result in end-to-end performance inefficiency in the traffic flows. This project aims to improve the state of traffic exchange and peering settlements at an IXP (for both non-profit and for-profit IXPs) through economically efficient pricing of IXP services coupled with flexible and value-driven ISP peering relationships. Towards fostering stable and economically beneficial inter-ISP peering relationships, this project will investigate the following important questions. Firstly, it will explore how the IXP services for traffic exchange should be shared (in the non-profit model) or be priced (in the for-profit model) so that economic efficiency is attained at equilibrium. Secondly, it will investigate the potential benefits of paid peering at an IXP, when there is significant asymmetry between the traffic flows. Finally, it will explore how IXP providers (which typically operate at different co-location centers) can facilitate formation of groups between ISPs at different co-location centers to maximize overall efficiency of traffic flows across an entire geographical region. This project is expected to enhance the understanding on how IXPs should operate in the near future to cope with the increased rate and asymmetry in traffic exchanges, and streamline the peering process and make it value-driven. It aims to improve traffic flows in the Internet, and bring the content closer to users, resulting in higher traffic rates, lower costs, and lower delays in content delivery to end users. The project's impact and outreach will be strengthened through collaboration with industry, and integration of education with research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Internet包括由Internet服务提供商（ISP）运营的成千上万个网络（自主系统），这些网络（ISP）在Internet交换点（IXPS）相互交换，以节省过境成本并使内容更接近消费者。 IXP充当ISP组的巨型开关，以交换流量，并在当今的Internet中发挥着重要作用，同样是通过IXP的流量流。在这些IXP上形成的ISP连接性和同意关系的稳定性和效率对于互联网的长期可持续性和可扩展性至关重要。但是，在当前的实践中，IXP的交通交易所支付的价格通常取决于粗略的静态措施，这些措施可能导致交通流量的端到端性能效率低下。该项目旨在通过IXP（非营利性IXP和营利性IXP）在经济上有效的IXP服务以及灵活且价值驱动的ISP倾向关系来改善交通交换和凝视定居点的状态。为了建立稳定且经济上有益的ISP对等关系，该项目将调查以下重要问题。首先，它将探讨如何（在非营利模型中）共享用于流量交换的IXP服务或定价（在营利性模型中），以便以平衡达到经济效率。其次，当交通流量之间存在明显的不对称性时，它将调查IXP上有薪待遇的潜在好处。最后，它将探讨IXP提供商（通常在不同的共同位置中心运行的IXP提供商）如何促进不同共同位置中心的ISP之间的组形成，以最大程度地提高整个地理区域的交通流量的整体效率。预计该项目将增强对IXP在不久的将来应如何运作的理解，以应对交通交流中的速率和不对称性，并简化对等过程并使其增值驱动。它旨在改善Internet的流量，并使内容更接近用户，从而导致较高的交通率，较低的成本和较低的内容交付给最终用户的延迟。该项目的影响和外展将通过与行业的合作加强，并与研究结合。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
