Estimate of packet-loss rates between arbitrary Internet hosts is critical for many large-scale distributed applications, including overlay routing, P2P media streaming, VoIP, and ...
—Establishing a clear and timely picture of Internet topology is complicated by many factors including the vast size and dynamic nature of the infrastructure. In this paper, we d...
Measurement and estimation of packet loss characteristics are challenging due to the relatively rare occurrence and typically short duration of packet loss episodes. While active ...

Abstract--We explore the use of end-to-end multicast traffic as measurement probes to infer network-internal characteristics. We have developed in an earlier paper [2] a Maximum Li...
— Recent extensions to the Internet architecture allow assignment of different levels of drop precedence to IP packets. This paper examines differentiation predictability and imp...
