A New Available Bandwidth Measurement Technique for Service Overlay Networks
Overview This paper introduces a new measurement algorithm for the available bandwidth in a network path between two endhosts. This algorithm is an adaptation from existing active measurement methods for the purpose of being applied in inline network measurement. Inline network measurement method measures the available bandwidth by using packets which an active TCP connection transmits, instead of using probe packets, as in the existing methods. The measurement is performed by inferring network characteristics information from transmitting and receiving intervals of TCP data and ACKnowledgement packets. Inline network measurement is useful in service overlay networks, in which up-to-date information on the available bandwidth in the underlying IP network should be known as early as possible.
