Network characteristics: modelling, measurements, and admission control
Dinan Gunawardena, Peter B. Key, Laurent Massoulié · 2003
Round trip delays constitute the basic network measure that can be obtained by end systems without any network support. Our aim is to design measurement-based admission control strategies for streaming applications based on such minimal feedback on network state. To this end we discuss simple statistical models of packet round trip delays accross either local or wide area networks.
