Network Tomography and the Autonomic Network Architecture Networks: the Feasibility of Using Network Tomography for Estimation of Link Delay in Ana Networks Ebenezer Paintsil

Estimating quality of service (QoS) parameters such as link delay distribution from the end-to-end delay of a multicast tree topology in network tomography cannot be achieved without multicast probing techniques or designing unicast probing packets that mimic the characteristics of multicast probing packets in IP Network. Active probing is gradually giving way to passive measurement techniques. With the emergence of next generation networks such as Autonomic Network Architecture (ANA) network, which do not support active probing, a new way of thinking is required to provide network tomography support for such networks. This work is about investigating the possible solution to such problem in network tomography.
