Improving Fairness in Network Traffic by Controlling Congestion and Unresponsive Flows

Traffic engineering is the task of handling the traffic flows in the back bone networks in order to provide maximum network resource utilization. The key characteristics are redirecting the traffic flows to avoid congestion, applying constraint based shortest path first, providing the ISPs to get more control for the management of traffic flows. Fairness measures or metrics are used in traffic engineering to determine whether users or applications are receiving a fair share of system resources. In this work, the fairness measure considered is congestion control and the control of unresponsive flows.
