Qualitative properties of α-fair policies in bandwidth-sharing networks

We consider a flow-level model of a network operating under an α-fair bandwidth sharing policy (with α > 0) proposed by Roberts and Massoulié [Telecomunication Systems 15 (2000) 185–201]. This is a probabilistic model that captures the long-term aspects of bandwidth sharing between users or flows...
