Zusammenfassung

Moderne Internet-Dienste bedürfen nicht nur höherer Datenraten, sondern auch einer Übertragung nahezu in Echtzeit, was eine vermehrte Bereitstellung von hohen Übertragungsqualitäten (QoS) bedingt. Die momentane Bandbreite und Ende-zu-Ende-Latenzzeit von Internetverbindungen schwankt allerdings um mehrere Größenordnungen, so dass zum Erreichen unterschiedlicher QoS eine ungleiche Weiterleitung der Daten an den Netzknoten eingesetzt wird. Wenn nicht auf reine Dienstgüte limitiert, widerspricht diese Praxis der Neutralität des Internets. Eine strikte Trennung von Netzbetrieb und Dinestebereitstellung würde perfekt zur Internet-Neutralität passen. Allerdings könnte das den Netzbetreibern wirtschaftliche Geschäftsprozesse verwehren, insbesondere in Bezug auf Pauschalangebote. Eine leistungsbezogene Vergütung kann eine faire, selbstregulierende und kostendeckende Verteilung der Umsätze erreichen.

Summary

Novel Internet applications not only demand more capacity, but also their prevalent request for near-to-real-time transmission requires to increasingly provision high levels of delivered quality of service (QoS). Bandwidth and end-to-end delay of connections across the Internet vary by several orders of magnitude, therefore unequal data handling per node is commonly applied to achieve differentiated QoS. This practice contradicts Internet neutrality if it is not restricted to pure application awareness. A strict separation of network operation from service provisioning would perfectly fit to achieve Internet neutrality. But this may lack economic business models for network operators, especially in a flat-rate world. Differentiated charging offers a solution to achieve fair, autonomous, and cost-related revenue distribution among stakeholders.
