Abstract:

Since the present tight link location methods are of big measurement load and low precision, a method for tight link location based on the available bandwidth measurement of the sub path of a network path was proposed in this paper, called PathLoche. A new packet train called Loche was designed to measure the available bandwidth of the sub paths iteratively; the available bandwidth of the whole path and the location of tight link could be attained from the iterative measurement value. The simulation experiment shows that PathLoche is accurate and low-invasive.
