An explicit fairness control (EFC) algorithm was developed to provide fairness over a wide range of conditions. The algorithm improves fairness by adding mechanisms at end systems and gateways.

The algorithm automatically identifies the point at which the NURBS curve has to be faired. Modifying locally the control polygon, the algorithm yields a NURBS curve with improved fairness.

An improved algorithm is presented based on generalized predictive control, which enhances the stability and robustness of closed-loop systems, and realizes the fairness of bandwidth allocation.
