We propose a method for the sharing of capacity among zones of a communication network. Our approach can be employed either when a zone owner wishes to sell capacity for a specified period of time to a number of different zones, or when zones cooperate to build a network to be shared among themselves. We show how load balancing can be performed to mediate between rapidly fluctuating costs and the capacity of zone, which might be traded. Depending on the density of the zone, an important property of the process is that it prevents zone from congestion.

Index Terms:
Congestion Control, Quality of Service (QoS), Augmenting Path Selection, Zone density and Zone-based Load-balancing.
