abstract = {Fairness criteria are proposed for the
apportionment of throughput among the different stations for a DQDB
(distributed-queue dual-bus) subnetwork involving eraser nodes under sustained
overload. These criteria are based on maximizing the minimum throughput
available to any station. Idealistic values of capacity apportionment for each
active station are analytically computed by a recursive procedure. These
idealistic values provide a quantitative standard against which the fairness of
proposed eraser node protocols may be assessed. A numerical example is used to
provide a detailed demonstration of the method for capacity apportionment.}
