Pricing mechanism for an incentive problem on implementing outbound filtering of unwanted traffic
Yousuke Takahashi, Keisuke Ishibashi (NTT) IN2011-17
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Filtering method of unnecessary traffic in ISPs is categorized into inbound filtering at receiver ISPs and outbound filtering at sender ISPs. Outbound filtering is effective but not widely used in the current Internet. This is because outbound filtering does not benefit the ISP that installs it and pays the cost. Instead it benefits ISPs that receive unwanted traffic from the installing ISP. The objective of our study is to solve this incentive problem. We propose an incentive mechanism where ISPs pay a penalty for sending unwanted traffic to peering ISPs. This payment is combined with payments of transit fees so that the mechanism will be spread through the current ISP relationship. We evaluated our proposed mechanism through simulations where individual ISPs behaved in a selfish manner. We showed that, even with that behavior, many ISPs will spontaneously adopt our proposed mechanism. Accordingly, outbound filtering was also widely installed. Our proposed mechanism can nearly achieve cost optimization. This is because it provides strong incentives to install outbound filtering, particularly to spammer ISPs. The results suggest that this approach to incentivizing an individual player is cheaper than the institutional approach of forcing all players to obey, such as through law enforcement.
