Limitations of Passive & Active Measurement Methods in Packet Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurements and simulations are the main tools for studying the performance of IP networks. Furthermore, active measurement techniques are becoming an integral part of real network performance management systems. But if excessive testing packets are generated and injected into the network, then it might lead to worsening congestion. However, passive monitoring of queue length distributions will not cause any intrusive effect to the network, but it may not be scalable. This paper will explore the limitations of passive and active measurements and provide some measurement results related to them.

A Comparison of Probe-based and Router-based Methods for Measuring Packet Loss
Probe-based (active) measurements of packet loss have formed the basis for much of our empirical understanding of loss behavior in wide area networks. Routerbased (passive) loss measurements via SNMP, while not widely available, offer the potential for a more detailed perspective. In this paper we present a case study that quantitatively assesses and compares the viewpoints provided by both of ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Comparison of Load Flow Methods for Distribution Networks Considering Distributed Generation
Conventional passive distribution networks are changing to modern active distribution networks which are not radial. Conventional load flow methods should be modified for new distribution networks analysis. In modern distribution networks distributed generation (DG) units are embedded with conventional and/or renewable resources. DG units are generally modeled as PV or PQ nodes which inject ...

متن کاملModeling the Effects of Burst Packet Loss and Recency on Subjective Voice Quality
A. INTRODUCTION Voice over IP networks differ from conventional telephone networks in that voice quality is affected by a wider variety of network impairments and can vary from call to call and even during a call. It is therefore desirable to monitor call quality in order that service providers can properly provision networks and that network resources are properly allocated. Passive monitoring...
