The estimation of the link capacity and its available bandwidth in an
end-to-end path is crucial for network management, admission
control and flow control for adaptive applications. This paper
introduces an estimation mechanism able to accurately estimate the
available bandwidth of all links in an end-to-end path, through its
capacity and cross-traffic estimation. The estimation procedures
resort to the dispersions of packet pairs and trains using the concepts
of ICMP Timestamp and Traceroute that, efficiently used together,
enable the measurement of the dispersions in all links in the path.
These mechanisms were evaluated through simulation experiments,
where we analyzed the influence of the several network parameters
on each estimation mechanism. The results show that these
estimation methods are able to accurately estimate both the capacity
and the cross-traffic of all links in a path with moderate length and
with low overhead.
