SIMULATION OF WIRELESS ESTIMATION BANDWIDTH FOR NETWORK TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Wireless estimation bandwidth is used in path selection for a network environment. To access the internet, a typical user shares the same bandwidth that has been provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). The scenario worsens when a few of the users access multimedia content on the Internet which requires high bandwidth at the same time. This research could be enhanced in other different network environments, such as wired and mobile phone environments, and represents an analysis of ready bandwidth using a few wireless bandwidth estimation tools, which are WBest, Pathload, IGI MRTG, PRTG and PTR. This paper attempts to design and develop a detection mechanism for wireless estimation bandwidth to estimate an available bandwidththrough several sending of injection traffic packets to the server. In this paper, we measured available bandwidth with WBest. Then we analysed the estimation measurements prior to 2 simulations done on Wireless Mode 11 Mbps 802.11b and Wireless Mode 54 Mbps 802.11g. Three different percentages of packet injection (0%, 25%, 50%) were tested on Wireless Mode 54 Mbps 802.11g. The results accuracy shows that the 50% packet injection performs the least available bandwidth compared to the injection of 0% and 25% of packets.
