Design of a Fairness Guarantee Mechanism Based on Network Measurement

In this paper we discuss the problem of network fairness. Traditional network fairness focuses on treating uneven resource (such as bandwidth) allocation in TCP congestion control mechanisms. Hereby, we present a novel definition of applicationbased network fairness as an extension to the traditional one. We explain the significance of fairness scheduling in real-time network businesses, analyze the impact on server-side fairness judgment caused by non-subjective factors, and then provide a fairness scheduling mechanism of serve based on network measurement, with its feasibility and validity preliminarily proved through an actual implementation. Finally, we make a conclusion and point out some possible future works.
