> What if B pays 10000x what ACDE do combined? What if B pays for that capacity? If B's load is consistently that high compared to the others then presumably the system has enough total capacity that those requests don't impact the latency for everyone else. If B pays for dedicated capacity they should ideally get their own queue. > What if B was silent for the 10000 seconds prior? Then B should smooth out their load better. In this extreme an example, not much is lost for B by prioritizing C, D, E first sometimes anyways. There might not be one single definition of fairness, but preventing one noisy user from impacting other users is a pretty common way to approach it.
