This paper deals with traffic rate control problems of networks. The incentive Stackelberg strategy concept was introduced to the networking model that comprises subsidiary systems of users and network. A linear strategy and a nonlinear strategy were proposed to the elastic traffic problem, with the illustrations via examples. The presented method was extended to non-elastic traffic problem.
Keywords: Rate control, Pricing, Elastic traffic, Non-elastic traffic, Incentive Stackelberg strategy
