A Multistage Model of Network Usage

Abstract

The evolution of network service usage can be considered as being in three stages, constituting a usage life cycle. The first stage (inception) is that of initial low level usage. The second (expansion) is characterized by rapid growth in usage and is often unstable and uncontrolled. The third stage (stability) is a reaction to the second stage and imposes order on usage. Decision making, data collection, and measurement considerations are examined for this framework.
