Abstract

The importance of available bandwidth as a parameter used in optimizing computer networks performance is revealed. The parameter estimating and its optimal exploiting enable to overcome congestion and distribute the load in a balanced way. First the available bandwidth estimation methods and its results evaluation concerning precision and speed are introduced. Then the authors' point of view in finding a tool for estimating available bandwidth which has been called PathFinder with hybrid characteristics of previous methods is presented. Then we implemented and evaluated this tool, and the results reached prove its quality concerning speed and precision relaying on a simple and quick algorithm. Finally we emphasized our methods advantages and the importance of using it in data exchange applications through computer networks especially in the Internet.
