ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the “classify and double average" method to filter the measurement data and take into packet loss. It proposes a novel mechanism to obtain high accuracy of available bandwidth without deploying any measurement procedures on the receiver. Most measurement tools assumed that the buffer is infinite and underestimated without considering the packet loss. A probing-position packet train is constructed to obtain its output dispersion on preceding or later bottleneck link and track the changeable bottleneck link periodically. The chapter analyzes the problem and constructs a probing packet. Self-loading decreasing rate train is quite effective, but it injects more probing packets. A novel algorithm employed not only the gaps of any two consecutive probing packets but also nonadjacent probing packets. If there exist changes, Time to Live of probing packets is reinitialized and the capacity of the bottleneck link is re-obtained.
