摘要: This report unveils new algorithms for actively measuring (not estimating) available bandwidths with very low intrusion, computing cross traffic, thus estimating the physical bandwidth, provides mathematical proof that are accurate, and addresses conditions, requirements, limitations existing network bandwidths. The paper also discusses a number of important terminologies issues bandwidth measurement, introduces fundamental parameter -Maximum Burst Size is critical implementing based on multiple packets.
