چکیده
|Growing interest in inference and prediction of network characteristics is justi ed by its importance for a variety of network-aware applications. One widely adopted strategy to characterize network conditions relies on active, end-to-end probing of the network. Active end-to-end probing techniques di er in (1) the structural composition of the probes they use (e.g., number and size of packets, the destination of various packets, the protocols used, etc.), (2) the entity making the measurements (e.g. sender vs. receiver), and (3) the techniques used to combine measurements in order to infer speci c metrics of interest. In this paper, we present Periscope: a Linux API that enables the de nition of new probing structures and inference techniques from user space through a exible interface. PeriScope requires no support from clients beyond the ability to respond to ICMP ECHO REQUESTs and is designed to minimize user/kernel crossings and to ensure various constraints (e.g., back-to-back packet transmissions, ne-grained timing measurements) We show how to use Periscope for two di erent probing purposes, namely the measurement of shared packet losses between pairs of endpoints and for the measurement of subpath bandwidth. Results from Internet experiments for both of these goals are also presented. Keywords| End-to-end measurement; loss rate; bottleneck bandwidth; Bayesian probing; Cartouche probing; network-aware applications.

متن کاملAn Instrumentation and Measurement Framework for End-to-End Performance Analysis linkbordercolor
This paper presents Periscope: a metric caching, analysis, and visualization platform for troubleshooting end-to-end network and system performance. Periscope collects and caches on-demand, real-time measurements from both global network monitoring infrastructures such as perfSONAR as well as locally generated host metrics in a common representation. We describe a flexible host monitoring imple...
متن کاملPeriscope: Unifying Looking Glass Querying
Looking glasses (LG) servers enhance our visibility into Internet connectivity and performance by offering a set of distributed vantage points that allow both data plane and control plane measurements. However, the lack of input and output standardization and limitations in querying frequency have hindered the development of automated measurement tools that would allow systematic use of LGs. In...

The molar conductivity data of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate, [BMIm][Sal] as an active pharmaceutical ingredient ionic liquid (API-IL) have been determined in water and aqueous solutions of amino acids, glycine and L-alanine at T= (288.15 to 318.15) K. The molar conductivity data were analyzed by low concentration Chemical Model (lcCM) and limiting molar conductivities ( ), ion associa...
