Sažetak
We study network design in which each pair of nodes can communicate via a direct link and the communication flow can be delivered through any path in the network. The cost of flow through each link is discounted if and only if the amount of flow exceeds certain threshold. The cost of services delivered through such a network is distributed among its users who may be individuals or organizations with possibly conflicting interests. Consequently, there is a need to find a fair distribution of the service cost among network users. We analyze the associated cost allocation problem.
