An Analysis of Active End-to-End Bandwidth Measurements in Wireless Networks
Overview For active, probing-based bandwidth measurements performed on top of the unifying IP layer, it may seem reasonable to expect the measurement problem in wireless networks to be no different than the one in wired networks. However, in networks with 802.11 wireless bottleneck links the paper shows that this is not the case. The results from the experiments presented in this paper show that the measured available bandwidth is dependent on the probe packet size (contrary to what is observed in wired networks). Another equally important finding is that the measured link capacity, using the well known TOPP model, is dependent on the probe packet size and on the cross-traffic intensity.
