A dynamic model for the evolution of the next generation Internet: Implications for network policies
作者：
Highlights：
• We model the multifaceted nature of Next Generation Internet (NGI).
• NGI provides both public social (S) and private premium (P) network services.
• Not only interior but also boundary equilibria are identified under various scenarios.
• Coexistence of S and P (interior equilibrium) is not stable but presents saddle areas.
• Multiple equilibria and dynamic complexity call attention to prudent network policy.
