A Bandwidth Determination Method for IPv6-Based Networks

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview Accurate measurement of bottleneck and available bandwidths in network paths is a problem that has intrigued researchers for years. Numerous tools and techniques have been developed to determine bottleneck and available bandwidths but none of these methods provide a simple solution that is accurate, efficient, and flexible. Such a solution is simply not practical for IPv4 networks. Fortunately, the next generation Internet Protocol, IP version 6, has the functionality necessary to implement feedback mechanisms to assist in accurate bandwidth estimations. This paper presents a method to accurately and efficiently determine the network bandwidth in IPv6 networks through the use of a proposed timestamp option for the IPv6 hop-by-hop extension header.

Ipv6: An acronym to shake the networked world

Crucially, in the header for the new protocol version there are 128 bits for senders and recipients. ToS (Type of Service) is a field in the IPv4 header. In the latter case an old four-digit code comes before the new version 6 header.

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.
