As these links are upgraded, however, it is important to consider where new bottlenecks and hot-spots are likely to arise. Through an extensive measurement study, we discover, classify and characterize non-access bottleneck links in terms of their location, latency and available capacity. We find that nearly half of the paths explored have a non-access bottleneck with available capacity less than 50 Mbps. The bottlenecks identified are roughly equally split between intra-ISP links and links between ISPs. These results have implications on issues such as the choice of access providers and route optimization.”, booktitle = “ACM SIGMETRICS”, pages = “316–317”, note = “Short Paper”, numpages = “2”, keywords = “network measurement, bottleneck links”, location = “San Diego, CA, USA”, series = “SIGMETRICS ‘03”, category = “[Measurement, Multipath]”, month = “June” }
