Juergen - > My vote is "Ready to publish" with the following comments: > > a) I think the acronym for the Transport Modeling Research Group is > TMRG and not TRMG (shows up multiple times in the ID). Oops. Thanks, fixed. > b) Section 2.3.1 talks about fairness metrics and introduces Jain's > fairness without saying what x_i actually stands for.

I think this should > be clarified. Done. (I moved the definition of x_i so that it becomes before Jain's fairness metric.) > In the discussion of epsilon-fairness, we then read: > > where x_i is the resource allocation to the i-th flow or user. > > I am wondering how resource allocation is actually defined / > measured. Is it the fraction of the bandwidth allocated to the > flow? In the paper where epsilon-fairness is defined, they refer to x_i as the sending rate. I have clarified. > c) On page 11: s/that TCP/than TCP/ Thanks, fixed.c Many thanks for the feedback.
