Future Communications Architecture
Re-Feedback
Re-feedback is a novel feedback arrangement for the Internet. It ensures metrics in data headers such as time to live and congestion notification will arrive at each relay carrying a truthful prediction of the remainder of their path. We propose mechanisms at the network edge that ensure the dominant selfish strategy of both network domains and end- points will be to set these headers honestly and to respond correctly to path congestion and delay, despite conflicting interests. Although these mechanisms influence incentives, they don't involve tampering with end-user pricing.
