Utility fair congestion control for real-time traffic

This paper deals with a new approach to integrate congestion control for real-time applications and elastic traffic into a unified framework. In our previous work, we proposed a new fairness criterion, utility proportional fairness, that takes characteristics of real-time applications into account. We complement this framework by deriving a general method to generate utility functions for layered multimedia applications. Finally, we demonstrate our approach through ns-simulations.
