An inelastic flow is a flow with inelastic rate: i.e., the rate is fixed, it cannot be dynamically adjusted to traffic and load condition as in elastic flows like TCP. Real ti...
— Tools such as pathchar, clink, and pchar attempt to measure the capacity of every Layer-3 (L3) hop in a network path. These tools use the same underlying measurement methodolog...
Consider a simple network flow problem in which there are n channels directed from a source to a sink. The channel capacities are unknown and we wish to determine a feasible netwo...
— For active, probing-based bandwidth measurements performed on top of the unifying IP layer, it may seem reasonable to expect the measurement problem in wireless networks to be ...
There has been much work on developing techniques for estimating the capacity and the available bandwidth of network paths based on end-point measurements. The focus has primarily...
