Methods and systems are provided to facilitate network ingress fairness between applications. At an ingress port of a network, the applications providing data communications are reviewed so that and arbitration process can be used to fairly allocate bandwidth at that ingress port. In a typical process, the bandwidth is allocated based upon the number of flow channels, irrespective of the source and characteristics of those flow channels. At the ingress port, an examination of the application providing the data communication will allow for a more appropriate allocation of input bandwidth.
