Abstract :
The authors propose a fairness criterion for sharing spare (unallocated) capacity among different nonguaranteed bursty data sources with different relative usage values. Based on this criterion, the throughput of some sources may be controlled in the case where the total average offered traffic within a certain small time interval is greater than the total available spare capacity. It is proposed that all controlled sources will enjoy a share of capacity which is proportional to their relative usage values, and that no uncontrolled source will enjoy higher relative throughput than a controlled source. This criterion uniquely defines a set of throughputs for all sources. A method to compute these throughput values which has been demonstrated by several examples has been presented
