We evaluate pathchar, a tool that infers the characteristics of links along an Internet path latency, bandwidth, queue delays. Looking at two example paths, we identify circumst...
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...
Abstract-- Information about the topology and link-level characteristics of a network is critical for many applications including network diagnostics and management. However, this ...
The necessity of network traffic monitoring and analysis is growing dramatically with increasing network usage demands from individual users as well as business communities. Most ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating link loss rates based on end-to-end path loss rates in order to identify lossy links on the network. We first derive a maximu...
