Title: Fair routing and related optimization problems.

Abstract and Outline:
The presentation will summarize the state of the art in the design of fair routing in packet networks. We will concentrate on the notion of max-min fairness (MMF) and related non-trivial and not commonly known optimization problems and methods. We will show how to approach such difficult problems as single-path fair routing and modular routing. We will also discuss the presented results in the context of other notions of fairness, in particular of proportional fairness. The presented MMF optimizations models are of a general nature and can be used for other design problems involving fairness (as fair allocation of resources) and for other types of networks.
