Abstract

Available bandwidth tools or methods can be used by different application requirements. Some applications require not only measurement accuracy but also very short sampling time and high sampling frequency. So we analyze available bandwidth estimation tools which use SLoPS and PGM techniques. We made experimental simulations to analyze tools from four aspects which are measurement accuracy, total probe traffic generated, total estimation time and stability. From the experiments, we find the Pathload is the most accuracy but with high probe bandwidth and long estimation time. The results also indicate that which tool is the best in different applications.
