- Real-Time TCP/IP Analysis With Common Hardware
- Traffic measurement represents an indispensable and valuable tool for the analysis of telecommunication networks. Moreover, it is desirable for traffic measurement and analysis to be both continuous and persistent, since only these joint requirements allow tracking important changes on the traffic pattern. On the other hand, transmission links bandwidth keep...

- Opportunistic Measurement: Extracting Insight From Spurious Traffic
- While network measurement techniques are continually improving, representative network measurements are increasingly scarce. The issue is fundamentally one of access: either the points of interest are hidden, are unwilling, or are sufficiently much that representative analysis is daunting if not unattainable. In particular, much of the Internet's modern growth, in...

- On Accurate Measurement of Link Quality in Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Networks
- This paper presents a highly efficient and accurate link-quality measurement framework, called EAR (Efficient and Accurate link-quality monitoR), for multi-hop wireless mesh networks, that has several salient features. It exploits three complementary measurement schemes: passive, cooperative, and active monitoring. EAR maximizes the measurement accuracy by dynamically and adaptively adopting one...
