An accurate and fast estimation of the available bandwidth in a network with varying cross-
traffic is a challenging task. The accepted probing tools, based on the fluid-flow model of a …

The information that short-lived TCP flows provide on bandwidth estimation may benefit
adaptive video streaming applications or may contribute towards the success of new TCP …

Mobile Broadband (MBB) access networks are becoming more and more used worldwide,
and the devices adopted to access them are increasing in number and complexity (smart …

Tools for estimating end-to-end available bandwidth (AB) send out a train of packets and
observe how inter-packet gaps change over a given network path. In ultra-high speed …

Measuring the Available Bandwidth (ABW) is an important function for traffic engineering,
and in software-defined metro and wide-area network (SD-WAN) applications. Because …

Available bandwidth is a vital parameter for understanding network status. A huge number of
tools have been proposed in literature, including general ones as well as tools specialized …

The available bandwidth (AB) of an end-to-end path is its remaining capacity and it is an
important metric for several applications. That's why several available bandwidth estimation …

Existing bandwidth estimation tools fail to perform well at gigabit and higher network speeds.
In this paper we study several sources of noise that must be overcome by these tools in high …
