How do network operators maintain "fairness" in their networks in the face of selfish behaivor? Although this article concerns some of the "smart routing" products, we see the same thing with other applications (and even malicious applications like worms). Every 5 years or so we discuss the need for something like a "penalty box" for ill behaived traffic. But in the end, that's too hard. Its easier to add capacity than to solve the fairness problem.
Are you asking about strategies to fix the uneven resource utilization inherently caused by shortest-path routing, or are you asking about how to deal with abusive traffic? I don't see a connection between the two.
