— This paper presents a new end-to-end available bandwidth measurement tool called IGMPS (Improved Gap Model using Packet Size parameter). IGMPS is a lightweight tool based on a ...
IP networks present a challenging environment for video streaming because they do not provide throughput, jitter, or loss rate guarantees. In this work, we focus on improving the p...
Abstract. The available bandwidth of a network path impacts the performance of many applications, such as VoIP calls, video streaming and P2P content distribution systems. Several ...
Abstract. We introduce a new measurement algorithm for the available bandwidth in a network path between two endhosts. This algorithm is an adaptation from existing active measurem...
The common utilization-based definition of available bandwidth and many of the existing tools to estimate it suffer from several important weaknesses: i) most tools report a point...
