Abstract:
In this paper, as a result of our extensive analysis of several existing measurement techniques and tools, we describe the main characteristics, accuracy and performance evaluation metrics as well as robustness assessment criteria of bandwidth measurement tools and propose a generic classification and evaluation scheme consisting of three major dimensions: classification dimension, dimension of accuracy and performance assessment, and dimension of robustness assessment. To the best of our knowledge,by proposing this generic scheme we make the first attempt in order to simplify and standardize the prospective classification and evaluation of bandwidth measurement tools.
