Mohit,
The proposed remedy was provided in a separate file (since it didn't fit in the space provided in the form). There is a link to the additional file from the Detailed History view. [Note that several MRs have additional files associated with them, all linked from the Detailed History view.]
The only discussion so far was that people wanted to consult offline before making a decision, hence the status of T.
Your suggestion below appears to address conservative mode, whereas this is for aggressive mode.

Hi,
Maintenance request no. 47, states - "In the case of the aggressive
fairness method, a station may become the head of a congestion domain
based solely on the rate of transiting non-reserved traffic, even when the
local station is not adding fairness-eligible traffic or when transiting
fairness-eligible traffic is sufficient to exceed the rateLowThreshold
without the contribution of the local station. In such cases, add rates
within the congestion domain are unnecessarily (and repeatedly) throttled
to a small value, significantly reducing ring utilization."
No remedy has been provided by the person who has submitted this
maintenance. I wondering if there has been a discussion about the problem
mentioned. How about if /localFairRate /is set to /(lpAddRate +
lpFwRate)/2 /when /activeWeightsDetection /is disabled and /(lpAddRate +
lpFwRate) * (localWeight /activeWeights)/ when /activeWeightsDetection /is
enabled?
