In a network without connection access control, though, available proposals are generally based on average values, and QoS requirements can be unsatisfied for a part of the traffic. We propose here a simple pricing model for which, if delay exceeds a predefined threshold, a compensation is provided. We study this model by investigating first the level of (elastic) demand for fixed parameters, made of price, threshold, and compensation values, and then find the values maximizing the corresponding revenue. We also compare the results with those when no compensation is provided.
