Abstract: The Internet consists of a variety of interconnected heterogeneous networks managed by independent providers. At the edges between two networks resources are allocated. In this paper, we present a framework and taxonomy for problems at these edges like admission control and provider selection; we call them multi-period resource allocation problems at system edges (MPRASE). We look at several problem incarnations of this framework and show that many of those problems - including well-known problems in the are of networking - are sub- or dual problems of each other and that it is useful to treat them in an integrated fashion.
