Abstract

In the context of applied game theory in networking environments, a number of concepts have been proposed to measure both efficiency and optimality of resource allocations, the most famous certainly being the price of anarchy and the Jain index. Yet, very few have tried to question these measures and compare one to another, in a general framework, which is the aim of the present article.
