Bandwidth Estimation: Metrics, Measurement Techniques, and Tools
In a packet network, the terms "Bandwidth" or "Throughput" often characterize the amount of data that the network can transfer per unit of time. Bandwidth estimation is of interest to users wishing to optimize end-to-end transport performance, overlay network routing, and peer-to-peer file distribution. Techniques for accurate bandwidth estimation are...

A Min-Plus System Interpretation of Bandwidth Estimation
Significant research has been dedicated to methods that estimate the available bandwidth in a network from traffic measurements. While estimation methods abound, less progress has been made on achieving a foundational understanding of the bandwidth estimation problem. This paper develops a min-plus system theoretic formulation of bandwidth estimation. The paper...

Very Fast Optimal Bandwidth Selection for Univariate Kernel Density Estimation
Most automatic bandwidth selection procedures for kernel density estimates require estimation of quantities involving the density derivatives. Estimation of modes and inflexion points of densities also require derivative estimates. The computational complexity of evaluating the density derivative at M evaluation points given N sample points from the density is OMN....

Laboratory-Based Calibration of Available Bandwidth Estimation Tools
Examining the validity or accuracy of proposed available bandwidth estimation tools remains a challenging problem. A common approach consists of evaluating a newly developed tool using a combination of simple ns-type simulations and feasible experiments in situ (i.e., using parts of the actual Internet). This paper argues that this strategy...

A Two-Stage Plug-in Bandwidth Selection and Its Implementation for Covariance Estimation
The two most popular bandwidth choice rules for kernel HAC estimation have been proposed by Andrews (1991) and Newey and West (1994). This paper suggests an alternative approach that estimates an unknown quantity in the optimal bandwidth for the HAC estimator called normalized curvature using a general class of kernels,...

Measuring End-to-End Bandwidth With Iperf Using Web100
End-to-end bandwidth estimation tools like Iperf though fairly accurate are intrusive. This paper describes how with an instrumented TCP stack (Web100), one can estimate the end-to-end bandwidth accurately, while consuming significantly less network bandwidth and time. The paper modified Iperf to use Web100 to detect the end of slow-start and...

Using Packet Probes for Available Bandwidth Estimation: A Wireless Testbed Experience
Evaluating available bandwidth estimation methods requires a malleable MAC protocol implementation, precise MAC layer packet timing measurements, and the ability to create control topologies in laboratory setups so that not all nodes are within communication range. To address these challenges, it have exploited IEEE 802.11e-derived features to obtain more control...

A Bayesian Approach to Bandwidth Selection for Multivariate Kernel Regression With an Application to State-Price Density Estimation
Multivariate kernel regression is an important tool for investigating the relationship between a response and a set of explanatory variables. It is generally accepted that the performance of a kernel regression estimator largely depends on the choice of bandwidth rather than the kernel function. This nonparametric technique has been employed...
