- Abstract
- The INternet Demand EXperiment (INDEX) conducts experiments to measure
demand for quality-di erentiated Internet access as a function of bandwidth, traÆc
volume, applications, and pricing structure. This paper presents an overview of results
based on aggregated data from ve pricing experiments. In these experiments,
pricing is based either on time, volume, a combination of both, or a
at-rate buy out
option. Quality of Service (QoS) is di erentiated by varying bandwidth for incoming
and outgoing traÆc. After describing the experimental design and characterizing
our subject pool using demographic data, we examine the change in service usage
by comparing the ve experiments in terms of traÆc generation, QoS selection, and
expenditure.
