The estimation of the available bandwidth (av bw) between two end nodes through Internet, is an area that has motivated researchers around world in last twenty years, to have faster and more accurate tools; Due utility it various network applications; Such as routing management, intrusion detection systems performance transport protocols. Different tools use different techniques but generally o...

Resource contention is widely recognized as having a major impact on the performance of distributed algorithms. Nevertheless, the metrics that are commonly used to predict their performance take little or no account of contention. In this paper, we define two performance metrics for distributed algorithms that account for network contention as well as CPU contention. We then illustrate the use ...

Resilience curves are used to communicate quantitative and qualitative aspects of system behavior resilience stakeholders critical infrastructure. Generally, these illustrate the evolution performance before, during, after a disruption. As simple as may appear, literature contains underexplored nuance when defining “performance” comparing with summary metrics. Through review 273 publications, t...
