N2 - Fairness is an inherent and fundamental factor of queue service disciplines in a large variety of queueing applications, ranging from airport waiting lines to computer queueing systems. We study a newly proposed measure, a Resource Allocation Queueing Fairness Measure (RAQFM), first introduced in Raz, Levy, and Avi-Itzhak (Perform. Eval. Rev. 32(1):130-141, 2004). We analyze the properties of RAQFM and tie them to intuition, provide bounds for its values, and discuss briefly how it yields to analysis.
