   Abstract: The main objective of bandwidth sharing in telecommunications network is to use all available bandwidth without disrupting the constraints and maintain a certain fairness. The achieved fairness depends closely on the used fairness criterion. Different fairness criteria favor or discriminate single sources or whole traffic classes on different basis. In this paper the notion of fairness is introduced, essential static fairness criteria and their relationship is studied. A network model is presented and the behavior of different fairness criteria is examined via two simple network setups.
