Techniques and architectures for available bandwidth estimation with packet pairs selected based on one-way delay threshold values

摘要

Techniques and architectures for measuring available bandwidth. A train of probe packets is received from a remote electronic device. A per-packet one-way delay (OWD) is calculated for at least two packets from the train of probe packets. An OWD threshold value is calculated based on the calculated OWD for the at least two packets from the train of probe packets. A packet pair is selected from the train of probe packets based on the per-packet OWD for each packet in the packet pair exceeding the OWD threshold value. An estimated available bandwidth is computed based on one or more transmission characteristics of the selected packet pair.
