Architecture for B2B2C Business Model by Spinning off End-to-End Communications from Applications
Tetsuya Hishiki, Takumi Ohba, Arata Koike · 2015
We propose an architecture that frees application providers from designing direct end-to-end connectivity between end clients by spinning off end-to-end communications from applications. The business model of telecom carriers has been shifting from "business to consumer" to "business to business to consumer" (B2B2C), and the proposed architecture fits the B2B2C business model well. The proposed architecture also reduces unnecessary processing loads placed on application servers, and this feature is attractive to application providers. The effectiveness of the proposed architecture is also discussed along with implemented test results.
