The problems with Internet measurement

The problems with Internet measurement Introduction The Internet is a wide-ranging collection of networks, which as a whole has chaotic behaviour [5], characteristics. In order to understand, model and predict this behaviour, some type of accurate measurement is needed. One form of measurement is active measurement; this involves introducing packets into the network and measuring the way the network handles those packets. This paper focuses on packet delay measurements. Current techniques for measuring delay have certain …
