Congestion control is one of the fundamental issues in computer networks. In transport control protocol (TCP) the performance of protocol is being measured based on fairness and efficiency. The fairness on round trip time (RTT) can be measured using the algorithm based on two flows or more than that. Congestion control is an effort to adapt the performance of a network to changes in the traffic load without adversely affecting users perceived utilities. The traffic load in a network will effect the performance of a network and the fairness of algorithm. Congestion control is an introduced effect that adapts the performance. AIMD (Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease) is an established algorithm in a set of liner algorithms that it reflects good efficiency as well as good fairness. In this paper we propose an evaluation method of fairness for New AIMD congestion control algorithm. The evaluation of fairness has been done by using multiple flows start at the same time and also by considering each flow start at a different time in other way.
