Abstract

This paper proposes PathKatana, a method for accurately and stably estimating the available bandwidth of high-speed networks using packet train consisting of large-sized packets close to the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). Active end-to-end available bandwidth estimation is often intrusive, costly, and inaccurate. However, it is extremely important for designing high-performance network systems, improving network protocols, building distributed systems, and enhancing application performance. PathKatana follows the principle of PathRefiner estimation and calculates estimated values by transmitting and receiving packets near the size of MTU, using a modified theoretical curve. By calculating the absolute delay based on the transmission and reception data of reference packets and fitting it with the modified PathQuick3 theoretical curve, PathKatana estimates the available bandwidth. When implemented on an actual device and evaluated on a 1 Gbps high-speed line, PathKatana demonstrated superior estimation accuracy compared to conventional methods. It was confirmed that PathKatana can estimate the available bandwidth of high-speed lines with high accuracy.

期刊介绍： The IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society (OJ-COMS) is an open access, all-electronic journal that publishes original high-quality manuscripts on advances in the state of the art of telecommunications systems and networks. The papers in IEEE OJ-COMS are included in Scopus. Submissions reporting new theoretical findings (including novel methods, concepts, and studies) and practical contributions (including experiments and development of prototypes) are welcome. Additionally, survey and tutorial articles are considered. The IEEE OJCOMS received its debut impact factor of 7.9 according to the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2023. The IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society covers science, technology, applications and standards for information organization, collection and transfer using electronic, optical and wireless channels and networks. Some specific areas covered include: Systems and network architecture, control and management Protocols, software, and middleware Quality of service, reliability, and security Modulation, detection, coding, and signaling Switching and routing Mobile and portable communications Terminals and other end-user devices Networks for content distribution and distributed computing Communications-based distributed resources control.
