anyone willing to help by sending unsatisfying output back to the knightly development team (with as much information as you have about the infrastructure being gauged) will be of great help to some incredibly talented members of the research community beating at this holy grail trying it out and deciding it doesn't work as well as you need and not sending any feedback that might help the authors improve it doesn't help anyone at all but you knew that already k ----- Forwarded message from Constantine Dovrolis <dovrolis@cc.gatech.edu> ----- Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 16:47:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Constantine Dovrolis <dovrolis@cc.gatech.edu> Subject: [ippm] pathrate & pathload To: ippm@advanced.org cc: Manish Jain <jain@cc.gatech.edu>, Ravi Shanker Prasad <ravi@cc.gatech.edu> We would like to announce a new release of our bandwidth estimation tools: pathrate and pathload. Pathrate measures end-to-end capacity (aka bottleneck bandwidth), while Pathload measures end-to-end available bandwidth. Both tools are available at: http://www.pathrate.org The major differences in the new versions: Pathrate - 2.3.0 ---------------- * The tool has been also tested in Gigabit Ethernet paths. We added functionality to deal with interrupt coalescion at the receiver. * A "quick termination" mode (option -Q) was added for an estimate after just a few seconds. Useful for frequent light-weight measurements. * Support for netlogger output format. Pathload - 1.1.0 ---------------- * The previous version was able to measure available bandwidth only in the 2Mbps-120Mbps range. The latest version has been successfully tested in both low bandwidth paths (dial-up, DSL, cable modems), and in high bandwidth paths (OC-3, OC-12, GigEthernet). If the receiver does interrupt coalescion, the tool can only report a lower bound on the available bandwidth. * The tool can now automatically choose an appropriate bandwidth resolution (previously this was a user-specified parameter). * Support for netlogger output format. Enjoy, Constantinos, Manish, and Ravi. _______________________________________________ ippm mailing list ippm@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ippm ----- End forwarded message -----
