Abstract
This paper addresses the important issue of providing balanced allocation of the interconnection costs between networks. We analyze how beneficial is the determination of the original initiator of a transmission to the providers of different layers. The introduced model, where intercarrier compensation is based on the differentiated traffic flows, was compared with the existing solution, which performs cost compensation based on the traffic flows. For our analysis we considered both unilateral and bilateral settlement arrangements.
