Jain's Fairness Index
Raj Jain's equation,
rates the fairness of a set of values where there are users and is the throughput for the th connection. The result ranges from (worst case) to 1 (best case), and it is maximum when all users receive the same allocation. This index is when users equally share the resource, and the other users receive zero allocation.
This metric identifies underutilized channels and is not unduly sensitive to atypical network flow patterns.
