Abstract
Consistent with embodiments of the present invention, systems and methods are disclosed for estimating at least one of a capacity and an available bandwidth of a communications path. Methods may be disclosed comprising: sending a measurement request to a computing device on a network and receiving data responsive to the measurement request. At least one of a capacity and an available bandwidth of a communications path from the sender to the computing device may be estimated based on the received data. The estimation may be sent to the computing device and stored. Transmission settings may be adjusted based on the estimation.
