This paper reviews the engineering solutions and economic models for
fair allocation of network bandwidth to elastic flows. By using
examples, it gives insight to Proportional Fairness, and how it compares
to the fairness achieved by TCP.
The second topic is a discussion of fair bandwidth allocation between
multicast and unicast flows. By separating the discussion into economic
and engineering viewpoints, this paper discusses ideal solutions and
suggests practical approaches to achieving reasonable fairness.
