abstract = "We investigate the problem of routing traffic through a congested network in an environment of non-cooperative users. We use the worst-case coordination ratio suggested by Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou to measure the performance degradation due to the lack of a centralized traffic regulating authority. We provide a full characterization of the worst-case coordination ratio in the restricted assignment and unrelated parallel links models. In particular, we quantify the tradeoff between the {"}negligibility{"} of the traffic controlled by each user and the coordination ratio. We analyze both pure and mixed strategies systems and identify the range where their performance is similar.",
