End-to-end available bandwidth measurement for web-based application / Hisham Mohamed Shneba

The concept of bandwidth is central to digital communication, and specifically to packet networks, as it relates to the amount of data that a link or network path can deliver per unit of time. For many data-intensive applications, such as file transfer or multimedia streaming or applications that ha...

In this research we developed bandwidth estimation module (BEM) that can provide accurate information regarding the available bandwidth to the users or applications.
