  abstract              = {Network routing –being a central part of our everyday life, which
                           increasingly depends on internet services– is highly distributed. It must
                           provide for a variety of different services, each accommodating different
                           requirements. Thereby, the access to network services is often very different
                           between multiple users or agents, who are nonetheless expecting the same
                           quality, e.g., regarding speed or availability. This work establishes a formal
                           model of network routing, stepping into fair allocation theory, in order to
                           develop formal fairness properties within this model. We furthermore derive
                           possible fairness criteria from established notions in fair allocation theory.},
