Visual Feature Extraction for Classification of Packet-Sequence Dispersion Signatures and Identification of Bottleneck Parameters

Abstract

As an alternative to pdf approximation methods to identify modes within the dispersion data of a packet-pair network probing experiment, the classical Hough transform is used to identify straight lines within the output vs. input dispersion plot. These lines can then be mapped to the independence, rate, and distribution signatures of the different links within that path.
