1 Introduction
IP-based networks such as the Internet have been the fo-
cal point for innovative technologies, services, and appli-
cations. These networks have enabled hugely successful
services like the World Wide Web, and they are even at-
tracting traditional services such as telephony. The service
model for accessing Web content offers tremendous control
and choice to users. In particular the on-demand nature of
this model provides users instant access to content of their
choice.
