ELASTICITY OF INTERNET TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION IN COMPUTERNETWORK IN TWO MARKET ENVIRONMENT

[摘要] The Internet service is managed by operators and each one tries to capture larger proportion of Internet traffic. This tendency causes inherent competition in the market. The location of the market in also an important factor. This paper assumes two different markets and two operators are in competition. It is found that elasticities value depend on market position. The priority position market has higher level. This paper present Elasticities analysis of traffic sharing pattern among operators. Simulation study is performing to analyze the Elasticities impact on traffic sharing.
