Course Goal / Objective
This course covers topics in network measurement, ranging from techniques and tools for estimating various delay- and bandwidth-related QoS metrics to bottleneck localization techniques. Fundamental challenges and difficulties existing in the field of network measurement are also addressed.
Course Content
Direct, iterative and mixed probing available bandwidth estimation techniques. Machine learning-based available bandwidth estimation techniques. Single and multiple bottleneck link capacity estimation techniques. Achievable throughput and goodput measurement techniques. Bottleneck localization techniques. Packet loss/delay characterization: statistical models. Characteristics and classification of estimation tools. Challenges and difficulties in network measurement. Measurements on mobile/wireless and high-speed networks. Testbed design, cross-traffic scenarios, and experimental evaluation aspects. Current research directions in network measurement.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites.
