Abstract

There are several ways for bandwidth allocation for users acting based on policy of network administrators in computer networks. Due to the diversity of users and so amount of bandwidth usage per user, providing suitable bandwidth rate to meet their needs in various situations play an important role in terms of performance and implementation of bandwidth management systems. In this paper, we propose a dynamic and balanced approach, called normal weight allocation
for determining amount of bandwidth for each user taking into account the importance of user in caomparision with other online concurrent users. In this regard, to obtain a user weight as the importance of user, we apply Fuzzy AHP technique for eliciting indecisive expert ideas. Ease of implementation and taking the advantage of maximal usage of available bandwidth are the features of the proposed approach.
