Resumen
Current Available Bandwidth Estimation Tools
(ABET) insert into the network probing packets to perform a single
estimation. The utilization of these packets makes ABET intrusive
and prone to errors since they consume part of the available
bandwidth they are measuring. This paper presents a comparative of
Overhead Estimation Tools (OET) analysis of representative
ABET: Abing, Diettopp, Pathload, PathChirp, Traceband, IGI,
PTR, Assolo, and Wbest. By using Internet traffic, the study shows
that the insertion of probing packets is a factor that affects two
metrics associated to the estimation. First, it is shown that the
accuracy is affected proportionally to the amount of probing traffic.
Secondly, the Estimation Time (ET) is increased in high congested
end-to-end links when auto-induced congestion tools are used
