Abstract

A mechanism for the estimation of the available bandwidth between two end-points of a best-effort network is presented. The estimation is obtained by a simple statistical analysis of the effect that the network has on a synchronous train of packets. The possibility of exploiting self-similar characteristics of the delay jitters is also discussed, and a possible use of the estimates for management actions is suggested.
