Next Generation Delay and Performance Measuring Algorithm for an Overall Network
Kazi Md. Abdullah Al Mamun, Gyanendra Prasad Joshi, Sung Won Kim · 2008
As a network administrator or as a client, we need to perform the important operation over network such fixing a schedule of video conference, sending data, or doing maintenance related task regarding Quality of Service (QoS). It will be more reliable if we can get the information of the delay, performance statistics and error rate of the overall network that we belong to or we are maintaining. We propose the algorithm to implement such a program. We show that the method can operate in present and future networks in a few seconds. An extended timestamp like clock skew travels entire network randomly and gets the useful information of the entire network like processing time of each node, delay of each traveled path, number of hops it traveled, and error rate.
