MR-BART: Multi-Rate Available Bandwidth Estimation in Real-Time
In this paper, we propose Multi-Rate Bandwidth Available in Real Time
(MR-BART) to estimate the end-to-end Available Bandwidth (AB) of a network
path. The proposed scheme is an extension of the Bandwidth Available in Real
Time (BART) which employs multi-rate (MR) probe packet sequences with Kalman
filtering. Comparing to BART, we show that the proposed method is more robust
and converges faster than that of BART and achieves a more AB accurate
estimation. Furthermore, we analyze the estimation error in MR-BART and obtain
analytical formula and empirical expression for the AB estimation error based
on the system parameters.Comment: 12 Pages (Two columns), 14 Figures, 4 Tables
Evaluation of BART for measuring available bandwidth in an industrial application
We report results from a field study using the BART method for measuring available bandwidth in a local IP-network for use in train cars. The test was performed on physical hardware in a laboratory environment for a set of two cars. Test results indicate that BART measurement is viable
