Improving Active Measurement Estimates Using One-Way Delays

Understanding network characteristics is essential to build accurate models necessary to improve the quality of multimedia real time applications. Some performance network parameters such as the round trip time (RTT) can be easily obtained in most cases. However, variables such as one-way delay (OWD) distributions and link capacities may be difficult to estimate without the use of special hardw...
