Abstract
The explosive growth of the Internet has induced a need for developing tools
to understand the composition and dynamics of the Internet traffic. Measurements
of the various characteristics of a network provide insight into the state and per-
formance of the network. The end-to-end available bandwidth metric can be used
by various applications for various purposes like path selection, dynamic routing
etc. In this paper, a measurement tool for end-to-end available bandwidth is pre-
sented. The tool combines the advantages of both active and passive measurement
methodologies to obtain accurate, reliable measurements of the available band-
width along a path.
Keywords: Measurement, End-to-end available bandwidth, MRTG, Active mea-
