Inferring Queue Sizes in Access Networks by Active Measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Router queues can impact both round-trip times and throughput. Yet little is publicly known about queue provisioning employed by Internet services providers for the routers that control the access links to home computers. This paper proposes QFind, a black-box measurement technique, as a simple method to approximate the size of the access queue at last mile router. We evaluate QFind through simulation, emulation, and measurement. Although precise access queue results are limited by receiver window sizes and other system events, we find there are distinct difference between DSL and cable access queue sizes.

Measuring the Queue Sizes of IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access Points
The increasing power, lower cost and improved convenience of wireless networks is fueling the spread of IEEE 802.11 wireless access points (APs) in the residential and commercial environments. While there has been considerable study of wireless performance, little is publicly known about the queue sizes of wireless APs. This paper presents the QFind methodology for measuring wireless AP queue s...
متن کاملEffect of RED and different packet sizes on Multimedia performance over wireless networks
We consider the adaptation of random early detection (RED) as an active queue management algorithm for multimedia traffic in wireless networks. We studied features of RED, multimedia data and point out a weakness in both. We show that an appropriate RED algorithm can improve multimedia data performance.
