Abstract
In recent years, there has been a strong interest
in measuring the available bandwidth of network
paths. Several methods and techniques have
been proposed and various measurement tools
have been developed and evaluated. However,
there have been few comparative studies with
regard to the actual performance of these tools.
This project presents a study of available
bandwidth measurement techniques for both
PRTG and OAUNETMON and undertakes a
comparative analysis in terms of accuracy,
intrusiveness and response time of active probing
tools. Finally, measurement errors and
uncertainty of the tools are analyzed and overall
conclusions were made.
