Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in computer networking and networks are the major component of ICT. Available bandwidth is an important bandwidth metric used today. This paper presents the measurement of available bandwidth of Himachal Pradesh University- Campus Wide Optical Fiber Network (CWOFN) through packet pair technique. The packet pair technique is a most popular active probing technique to measure available bandwidth. This work has been done with the help of IPERF and JPERF that estimates the end-to-end available bandwidth at the bottleneck link of the path. This study also presents the comparison of various bandwidth measurement techniques and tools. Finally, a study of architecture of campus wide optical fiber network has been done to test the major network segments for available bandwidth using MGEN tool which act as traffic generator and Ethereal, a traffic analyser and at last IPERF results are compared to IGMPS results in the same network configuration i. e HPU-CWOFN.
