ABwE: A Practical Approach to Available Bandwidth Estimation

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview This paper reports on a new tool developed for monitoring available bandwidth in the range from several Mbps to 1000 Mbps. The tool is based on the packet pair dispersion technique. It has been in experimental use at SLAC for several months and it has been demonstrated at iGrid2002 and SC2002. It can be used for detecting bandwidth changes caused by routing or congestions. This paper has studied the influence of cross traffic and the behavior of routers on the delay of the probing packets. The paper presents part of these analyses together with results from monitoring of 12 paths in US, Japan and in Europe.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

If all packets are sent using IP, the shortest points between popular destinations can become bottlenecks making the possibility of providing time-delay sensitive services - such as video or voice - difficult.

Managing convergence - the key points every company should know about

This programme outlines the need for a two-pronged network audit, which is carried out using a pair of Avaya tools. It is possible to avoid some of these problems by using strict policy management and most current routers come with quality of...

Indian telecoms explosion tempts Cisco

MPLS is a technology that tags IP packets and creates secure tunnels for traffic through the network. The carrier will be using Cisco 12000, 7300 and 7200 series routers and its Catalyst 4500 series switches.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Hype and Skype

On the other hand, when you send an email message via the internet your bits are transmitted in discrete packets that are often routed very differently, packet by packet. So the arrival times of packets can be widely distributed and vary on a...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. When packets arrive at their destination, they can arrive in any order with significant delay.

VoIP: Don't forget about security

Before the overhaul, the company's network was badly hit by the Blaster worm, which flooded routers with junk packets. I'm waiting to see the security tool which is a network packet sniffer that reassembles packets on the fly," Murray says.

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.
