Practical Models for Multi-Hop End-to-End Network Paths

摘要

Leaky and Token Bucket models are traditionally used to model end-tp-end communication paths. How­ever, recent research has shown that single bucket models are imprecise and have to be extended to describe end-to-end behaviour. This paper applies simplistic analysis originating from network calculus in order to describe multi-hop net­work paths. Theoretical description is verified against practical active measurement results.
