Improving fairness using dynamic weightsin ATM ABR service
Anil Kumar Gupta, J.P. Chew · Electronics Letters · 1999
A new scheme termed active fairness is proposed that substantially improves fairness in allocating bandwidth among the available bit rate (ABR) connections in ATM networks. In contrast to the one set of weights used in the generalised fairness scheme, active fairness maintains two sets of weights at each link. Simulation results prove the efficacy of the proposed scheme.
