Comparison of Public End-to-End Bandwidth Estimation Tools on High-Speed Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present results of a series of bandwidth estimation experiments conducted on a high-speed testbed at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and on OC-48 and GigE paths in real world networks. We test and compare publicly available bandwidth estimation tools: abing, pathchirp, pathload, and Spruce. We also tested Iperf which measures achievable TCP throughput. In the lab we used two different sources of known and reproducible cross-traffic in a fully controlled environment. In real world networks we had a complete knowledge of link capacities and had access to SNMP counters for independent crosstraffic verification. We compare the accuracy and other operational characteristics of the tools and analyze factors impacting their performance.

Using a Fuzzy Rule-based Algorithm to Improve Routing in MPLS Networks
Today, the use of wireless and intelligent networks are widely used in many fields such as information technology and networking. There are several types of these networks that MPLS networks are one of these types. However, in MPLS networks there are issues and problems in the design and implementation discussion, for example security, throughput, losses, power consumption and so on. Basically,...
متن کاملImproving Bandwidth Estimation for Internet Links by Statistical Methods
Network dimensioning is an important issue to provide stable and QoS-rich communication services. A reliable estimation of bandwidths of links between the end-to-end path is a first step towards the network dimensioning. Pathchar is one of such tools for the bandwidth estimation for every link between two end hosts. However, pathchar still has several problems. If unexpectedly large errors are ...
متن کاملCan Machine Learning Benefit Bandwidth Estimation at Ultra-high Speeds?
Tools for estimating end-to-end available bandwidth (AB) send out a train of packets and observe how inter-packet gaps change over a given network path. In ultra-high speed networks, the fine inter-packet gaps are fairly susceptible to noise introduced by transient queuing and bursty cross-traffic. Past work uses smoothing heuristics to alleviate the impact of noise, but at the cost of requirin...

متن کاملFast Available Bandwidth Sampling for ADSL Links: Rethinking the Estimation for Larger-Scale Measurements
Most existing tools for measuring the end-to-end available bandwidth require access to both end-hosts of the measured path, which severely restricts their usability. Few tools have been developed to overcome this limitation, but all of them focus on achieving high precision and are not suitable for large campaigns. In this paper we develop FAB-Probe, a tool aimed at characterizing the available...
