a rate allocation that maximizes the sum of logarithms of flow rates, so no change can raise the aggregate of proportional gains, tied to shadow pricing.

In computer networking, proportional fairness refers to a rate allocation that maximizes the sum of logarithms of flow rates, so no change can raise the aggregate of proportional gains, tied to shadow pricing. This meaning comes from Kelly (1998) in Journal of the Operational Research Society.[1]
