Abstract

In this paper we first present a complete survey on available bandwidth estimation tools. More precisely, according to the classification proposed on IEEE Network by Prasad et al. in 2003 we categorize them in (i) End-to-End Capacity Estimation Tools; (ii) Available Bandwidth Estimation Tools; (iii) TCP Throughput and Bulk Transfer Capacity Measurement Tools. After a complete survey, we present our proposal, which is based on an integration of previous tools, aiming to improve a fitness function composed of accuracy and total time of estimation. Experimental results are given with respect to comparative analysis between our proposal and existing tools, interference analysis, andfinally, wireless links.
