RE: [RPRWG] The upstream is more aggressive than the downstream
Necdet,
I changed to fwRate > addRate/localWeight. It does work.
Thank you for your great help.

The reason that upstream station (S1) is getting as much bandwidth as
downstream station (S2) is that there was a division operation (that was
needed to fix the unfairness when the sum of the weights of upstream
stations is less than the weight of the local station) that we
eliminated. Table 9.6 row 12 condition of ...fwRate > addRate ... ,
needs to be changed to ...fwRate > addRate/localWeight ....to fix this.
There was a note about this in the draft that I could not find in D3.0,
but it was on page 202 line 22 on D2.2. Another reason is that your STQ
buffer is too small.

Yes, more stations in the simulation and a larger buffer.

I could not find such a table in D3.0. The default value of ageCoef for
all rates is 4.

No, ageCoef can be independent of rateCoef. And rateCoef is fixed based
on the line rate.
