Abstract

The article presents a comparison of fairness properties of different congestion control schemes. It is hard to investigate the various protocol mechanisms implemented in transport protocols; therefore a simulator called SimCast is developed for the analysis of fairness characteristics of transport protocols as well as a network traffic generator and measurement tool called SimTest. This article presents the operation and basic properties of these evaluation systems together with some simulation and measurement results. The article also presents a fairness based bandwidth control mechanism, called the Balancer method, which optimizes resource allocation of busy servers with large amount of outgoing traffic. The efficiency of this control method is presented through simulation results.
