Estimation of available bandwidth and measurement infrastructure for Russian segment of Internet

arXiv:0803.1723

Abstract

In paper the method for estimation of available bandwidth is supposed which does not demand the advanced utilities. Our method is based on the measurement of network delay $D$ for packets of different sizes $W$ . The simple expression for available bandwidth $B_{a v} = (W_{2} - W_{1}) / (D_{2} - D_{1})$ is substantiated. For the experimental testing the measurement infrastructure for Russian segment of Internet was installed in framework of RFBR grant 06-07-89074.
