Abstract:High-speed Internet connectivity is becoming more ubiquitous due to advances in access technologies. On the one hand, the increased access speed allows flows to consume the larger available bandwidth. On the other hand, large aggressive flows lead to more bursty traffic. In this paper, we study the impact of higher broadband access speeds on the resulting packet losses, and dissect those losses into their constituent flows. Based on tightly controlled experiments using open source tools, we show that as ISPs a… Show more
“…All these studies indicate that the end-to-end flows suffer from burst losses. Therefore, Gilbert loss model [13] is assumed to be used to model the burst loss characteristics of the end-to-end flows in terms of burst loss rate, burst event rate and burst length. The burst loss rate denotes the packet loss rate within a burst.…”
