Active measurement and analysis of delay time in the Internet
J. Kato, Atsuo Shimizu, Satoshi Goto · 2003
This paper analyzes the delay time distribution in the Internet. We send sample packets with a time stamp to measure the delay time. It is well known that the delay time in communication links follows the exponential distribution. However, the earlier models cannot explain the distribution when a communication link is heavily overloaded. This paper proposes to use a new model for the Internet. We have applied our model to the measurement results successfully.
