Continuous Monitoring of Available Bandwidth Over a Network Path

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview This paper presents a new method for real-time monitoring of available bandwidth over a network path. The method uses active probing with trains of probe packets, and produces estimates in real-time using Kalman filtering. It improves the estimate for each new measurement of the strain of the inter-packet time intervals in a probe packet train. This paper has tested the method with good accuracy and agreement, both in simulation and in a physical test network. The method requires no communication from receiver to sender and only minor processing and memory space.

The Bloor Perspective: Java's big hope and Microsoft's major headache

But the first Java products were grindingly slow to execute, and their claims for uniform inter-operability were quickly exposed as absurd. Packet based GPRS services are poised to deliver packet billed applications with better bandwidth than...

Has Gigabit Ethernet come of age?

The advent of its fatter version is opening up the transfer of WAN data from ATM, frame-relay or packet over SONET/SDH to a potentially more efficient and cheaper method. In short, this pipe is fat, fast and cheap, leading to rumors that it may be...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
