Abstract
Measurement packets are sent at equi-intervals from a sending unit into a network path. The probing packets are received by a reception unit, which measures the packet transmission time to estimate an available bandwidth of a network path from a parameter Q indicative of a correlation in the packet transmission time between adjacent packets.
