sting is a TCP-based network measurement tool that measures end-to-end
|
||
|
|
network path characteristics. sting is unique because it can estimate
|
||
|
|
one-way properties, such as loss rate, through careful manipulation and
|
||
|
|
observation of TCP behavior. In addition, using TCP allows sting to
|
||
|
|
leverage the existing Internet infrastructure -- any TCP server can be
|
||
|
|
used as a de facto measurement service -- and it avoids increasing
|
||
|
|
problems with ICMP-based network measurement (blocking, spoofing, rate
|
||
|
|
limiting, etc).
