1. INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Measuring and analyzing network traffic dynamics between end hosts has
provided the foundation for the development of many different network protocols and
systems. Of particular importance is under-standing packet loss behavior since loss
can have a significant impact on the performance of both TCP- and UDP-based
applications. Despite efforts of network engineers and operators to limit loss, it will
probably never be eliminated due to the intrinsic dynamics and scaling properties of
traffic in packet switched network. Network operators have the ability to passively
monitor nodes within their network for packet loss on routers using SNMP. End-to-
end active measurements using probes provide an equally valuable perspective since
they indicate the conditions that application traffic is experiencing on those paths.

involves the empirical evaluation of our new loss measurement Our study
methodology. To this end, we developed a one-way active measurement tool called
BADABING. BADABING sends fixed-size probes at specified intervals from one
measurement host to a collaborating target host. The target system collects the probe
packets and reports the loss characteristics after a specified period of time. We also
compare BADABING with a standard tool for loss measurement that emits probe
packets at Poisson intervals. The results show that our tool reports loss episode
estimates much more accurately for the same number of probes. We also show that
BADABING estimates converge to the underlying loss episode frequency and
duration characteristics.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Existing System:
• In the Existing traditional packet loss measurement tools, the
accuracy of the packet loss measurement has to be improved.

• Several studies include the use of loss measurements to

estimate packet loss, such as Poisson modulated tools which
can be quite inaccurate.

Proposed System:
• The purpose of our study is to understand how to measure
end-to-end packet loss characteristics accurately.

• The goal of our study is to understand how to accurately

measure loss characteristics on end-to-end paths with probes.

• Specifically, our method entails probe experiments that follow

a geometric distribution to improve the accuracy of the packet
loss measurement.

Modules of the Project:

• Calculation Packet Separation
• Designing the Queue
• Packet Receiver
• User Interface Design
• Packet Loss

Module Description

5
Packet Separation:
In this module we have to separate the input data into packets. These packets
are then sent to the Queue.

Designing the Queue:

1. The Queue is designed in order to create the packet loss. The queue
receives the packets from the Sender, creates the packet loss and then
sends the remaining packets to the Receiver.

Packet Receiver:
The Packet Receiver is used to receive the packets from the Queue after the
packet loss. Then the receiver displays the received packets from the Queue.

User Interface Design:

In this module we design the user interface for Sender, Queue, Receiver and
Result displaying window. These windows are designed in order to display all the
processes in this project.

Packet Loss Calculation:

The calculations to find the packet loss are done in this module. Thus we are
developing the tool to find the packet loss.

Software Environment

Java Technology

Java technology is both a programming language and a platform.

The Java Programming Language

The Java programming language is a high-level language that can be
characterized by all of the following buzzwords:

 Simple
 Architecture neutral

7
  Object oriented
 Portable
 Distributed
 High performance
 Interpreted
 Multithreaded
 Robust
 Dynamic
 Secure

With most programming languages, you either compile or interpret a program

so that you can run it on your computer. The Java programming language is unusual
in that a program is both compiled and interpreted. With the compiler, first you
translate a program into an intermediate language called Java byte codes —the
platform-independent codes interpreted by the interpreter on the Java platform. The
interpreter parses and runs each Java byte code instruction on the computer.
Compilation happens just once; interpretation occurs each time the program is
executed. The following figure illustrates how this works.

You can think of Java bytecodes as the machine code instructions for the Java
Virtual Machine (Java VM). Every Java interpreter, whether it’s a development tool
or a Web browser that can run applets, is an implementation of the Java VM. Java
bytecodes help make “write once, run anywhere” possible. You can compile your
program into bytecodes on any platform that has a Java compiler. The bytecodes can
then be run on any implementation of the Java VM. That means that as long as a
computer has a Java VM, the same program written in the Java programming
language can run on Windows 2000, a Solaris workstation, or on an iMac.

8
The Java Platform
A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a
program runs. We’ve already mentioned some of the most popular platforms
like Windows 2000, Linux, Solaris, and MacOS. Most platforms can be
described as a combination of the operating system and hardware. The Java
platform differs from most other platforms in that it’s a software-only platform
that runs on top of other hardware-based platforms.
The Java platform has two components:
• The Java Virtual Machine (Java VM)
• The Java Application Programming Interface (Java API)
You’ve already been introduced to the Java VM. It’s the base for the Java
platform and is ported onto various hardware-based platforms.
The Java API is a large collection of ready-made software components that
provide many useful capabilities, such as graphical user interface (GUI)
widgets. The Java API is grouped into libraries of related classes and
interfaces; these libraries are known as packages. The next section, What Can
Java Technology Do?, highlights what functionality some of the packages in
the Java API provide.
The following figure depicts a program that’s running on the Java
platform. As the figure shows, the Java API and the virtual machine insulate
the program from the hardware.

9
 Native code is code that after you compile it, the compiled code runs
on a specific hardware platform. As a platform-independent environment, the
Java platform can be a bit slower than native code. However, smart compilers,
well-tuned interpreters, and just-in-time bytecode compilers can bring
performance close to that of native code without threatening portability.

What Can Java Technology Do?

The most common types of programs written in the Java programming
language are applets and applications. If you’ve surfed the Web, you’re
probably already familiar with applets. An applet is a program that adheres to
certain conventions that allow it to run within a Java-enabled browser.
However, the Java programming language is not just for writing cute,
entertaining applets for the Web. The general-purpose, high-level Java
programming language is also a powerful software platform. Using the
generous API, you can write many types of programs.
An application is a standalone program that runs directly on the Java platform.
A special kind of application known as a server serves and supports clients on
a network. Examples of servers are Web servers, proxy servers, mail servers,
and print servers. Another specialized program is a servlet. A servlet can
almost be thought of as an applet that runs on the server side. Java Servlets are
a popular choice for building interactive web applications, replacing the use of
CGI scripts. Servlets are similar to applets in that they are runtime extensions
of applications. Instead of working in browsers, though, servlets run within
Java Web servers, configuring or tailoring the server.
How does the API support all these kinds of programs? It does so with
packages of software components that provide a wide range of functionality.
Every full implementation of the Java platform gives you the following
features:

10
 • The essentials: Objects, strings, threads, numbers, input and
output, data structures, system properties, date and time, and so on.
• Applets: The set of conventions used by applets.
• Networking: URLs, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol),
UDP (User Data gram Protocol) sockets, and IP (Internet Protocol)
addresses.
• Internationalization: Help for writing programs that can be
localized for users worldwide. Programs can automatically adapt to
specific locales and be displayed in the appropriate language.
• Security: Both low level and high level, including electronic
signatures, public and private key management, access control, and
certificates.
• Software components: Known as JavaBeansTM, can plug into
existing component architectures.
• Object serialization: Allows lightweight persistence and
communication via Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
• Java Database Connectivity (JDBCTM): Provides uniform
access to a wide range of relational databases.
The Java platform also has APIs for 2D and 3D graphics, accessibility,
servers, collaboration, telephony, speech, animation, and more. The following
figure depicts what is included in the Java 2 SDK.

How Will Java Technology Change My Life?

We can’t promise you fame, fortune, or even a job if you learn the Java
programming language. Still, it is likely to make your programs better and
requires less effort than other languages. We believe that Java technology will
help you do the following:

• Get started quickly: Although the Java programming language

is a powerful object-oriented language, it’s easy to learn, especially for
programmers already familiar with C or C++.
• Write less code: Comparisons of program metrics (class
counts, method counts, and so on) suggest that a program written in the
Java programming language can be four times smaller than the same
program in C++.
• Write better code: The Java programming language
encourages good coding practices, and its garbage collection helps you
avoid memory leaks. Its object orientation, its JavaBeans component
architecture, and its wide-ranging, easily extendible API let you reuse
other people’s tested code and introduce fewer bugs.
• Develop programs more quickly: Your development time
may be as much as twice as fast versus writing the same program in
C++. Why? You write fewer lines of code and it is a simpler
programming language than C++.
• Avoid platform dependencies with 100% Pure Java: You
can keep your program portable by avoiding the use of libraries written
in other languages. The 100% Pure JavaTM Product Certification
Program has a repository of historical process manuals, white papers,
brochures, and similar materials online.
• Write once, run anywhere: Because 100% Pure Java
programs are compiled into machine-independent bytecodes, they run
consistently on any Java platform.
• Distribute software more easily: You can upgrade applets
easily from a central server. Applets take advantage of the feature of

12
 allowing new classes to be loaded “on the fly,” without recompiling
the entire program.
ODBC
Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard programming
interface for application developers and database systems providers. Before ODBC
became a de facto standard for Windows programs to interface with database systems,
programmers had to use proprietary languages for each database they wanted to
connect to. Now, ODBC has made the choice of the database system almost irrelevant
from a coding perspective, which is as it should be. Application developers have
much more important things to worry about than the syntax that is needed to port their
program from one database to another when business needs suddenly change.
Through the ODBC Administrator in Control Panel, you can specify the
particular database that is associated with a data source that an ODBC application
program is written to use. Think of an ODBC data source as a door with a name on it.
Each door will lead you to a particular database. For example, the data source named
Sales Figures might be a SQL Server database, whereas the Accounts Payable data
source could refer to an Access database. The physical database referred to by a data
source can reside anywhere on the LAN.
The ODBC system files are not installed on your system by Windows 95.
Rather, they are installed when you setup a separate database application, such as
SQL Server Client or Visual Basic 4.0. When the ODBC icon is installed in Control
Panel, it uses a file called ODBCINST.DLL. It is also possible to administer your
ODBC data sources through a stand-alone program called ODBCADM.EXE. There is
a 16-bit and a 32-bit version of this program, and each maintains a separate list of
ODBC data sources.

From a programming perspective, the beauty of ODBC is that the application

can be written to use the same set of function calls to interface with any data source,
regardless of the database vendor. The source code of the application doesn’t change
whether it talks to Oracle or SQL Server. We only mention these two as an example.
There are ODBC drivers available for several dozen popular database systems. Even
Excel spreadsheets and plain text files can be turned into data sources. The operating
system uses the Registry information written by ODBC Administrator to determine

13
which low-level ODBC drivers are needed to talk to the data source (such as the
interface to Oracle or SQL Server). The loading of the ODBC drivers is transparent to
the ODBC application program. In a client/server environment, the ODBC API even
handles many of the network issues for the application programmer.
The advantages of this scheme are so numerous that you are probably thinking
there must be some catch. The only disadvantage of ODBC is that it isn’t as efficient
as talking directly to the native database interface. ODBC has had many detractors
make the charge that it is too slow. Microsoft has always claimed that the critical
factor in performance is the quality of the driver software that is used. In our humble
opinion, this is true. The availability of good ODBC drivers has improved a great deal
recently. And anyway, the criticism about performance is somewhat analogous to
those who said that compilers would never match the speed of pure assembly
language. Maybe not, but the compiler (or ODBC) gives you the opportunity to write
cleaner programs, which means you finish sooner. Meanwhile, computers get faster
every year.

JDBC
In an effort to set an independent database standard API for Java, Sun
Microsystems developed Java Database Connectivity, or JDBC. JDBC offers a
generic SQL database access mechanism that provides a consistent interface to a
variety of RDBMSs. This consistent interface is achieved through the use of “plug-in”
database connectivity modules, or drivers. If a database vendor wishes to have JDBC
support, he or she must provide the driver for each platform that the database and Java
run on.
To gain a wider acceptance of JDBC, Sun based JDBC’s framework on
ODBC. As you discovered earlier in this chapter, ODBC has widespread support on a
variety of platforms. Basing JDBC on ODBC will allow vendors to bring JDBC
drivers to market much faster than developing a completely new connectivity
solution.
JDBC was announced in March of 1996. It was released for a 90 day public
review that ended June 8, 1996. Because of user input, the final JDBC v1.0
specification was released soon after.

14
The remainder of this section will cover enough information about JDBC for you to
know what it is about and how to use it effectively. This is by no means a complete
overview of JDBC. That would fill an entire book.

JDBC Goals
Few software packages are designed without goals in mind. JDBC is one that,
because of its many goals, drove the development of the API. These goals, in
conjunction with early reviewer feedback, have finalized the JDBC class library into a
solid framework for building database applications in Java.
The goals that were set for JDBC are important. They will give you some insight
as to why certain classes and functionalities behave the way they do. The eight design
goals for JDBC are as follows:

1. SQL Level API

The designers felt that their main goal was to define a SQL interface for Java.
Although not the lowest database interface level possible, it is at a low enough
level for higher-level tools and APIs to be created. Conversely, it is at a high
enough level for application programmers to use it confidently. Attaining this goal
allows for future tool vendors to “generate” JDBC code and to hide many of
JDBC’s complexities from the end user.
2. SQL Conformance
SQL syntax varies as you move from database vendor to database vendor. In
an effort to support a wide variety of vendors, JDBC will allow any query
statement to be passed through it to the underlying database driver. This allows
the connectivity module to handle non-standard functionality in a manner that is
suitable for its users.
3. JDBC must be implemental on top of common database interfaces
The JDBC SQL API must “sit” on top of other common SQL level APIs.
This goal allows JDBC to use existing ODBC level drivers by the use of a
software interface. This interface would translate JDBC calls to ODBC and
vice versa.
4. Provide a Java interface that is consistent with the rest of the Java system

15
 Because of Java’s acceptance in the user community thus far, the designers
feel that they should not stray from the current design of the core Java system.
5. Keep it simple
This goal probably appears in all software design goal listings. JDBC is no
exception. Sun felt that the design of JDBC should be very simple, allowing for
only one method of completing a task per mechanism. Allowing duplicate
functionality only serves to confuse the users of the API.
6. Use strong, static typing wherever possible
Strong typing allows for more error checking to be done at compile time; also,
less errors appear at runtime.
7. Keep the common cases simple
complex SQL statements should also be possible.
Because more often than not, the usual SQL calls used by the
programmer are simple SELECT’s, INSERT’s, DELETE’s and
UPDATE’s, these queries should be simple to perform with JDBC.
However, more

Finally we decided to proceed the implementation using Java Networking.

And for dynamically updating the cache table we go for MS SQL database .

Java ha two things: a programming language and a platform.

Java is a high-level programming language that is all of the

following

Simple Architecture-neutral

Object-oriented Portable

Distributed High-performance

Interpreted multithreaded

Robust Dynamic

Secure

16
 Java is also unusual in that each Java program is both compiled and
interpreted. With a compile you translate a Java program into an
intermediate language called Java byte codes the platform-independent
code instruction is passed and run on the computer.

Compilation happens just once; interpretation occurs each time the

program is executed. The figure illustrates how this works.

Java
Interpreter

Compilers My Program

You can think of Java byte codes as the machine code instructions for
the Java Virtual Machine (Java VM). Every Java interpreter, whether it’s a
Java development tool or a Web browser that can run Java applets, is an
implementation of the Java VM. The Java VM can also be implemented in
hardware.

Java byte codes help make “write once, run anywhere” possible. You
can compile your Java program into byte codes on my platform that has a
Java compiler. The byte codes can then be run any implementation of the

17
 Java VM. For example, the same Java program can run Windows NT,
Solaris, and Macintosh.

Networking

TCP/IP stack

The TCP/IP stack is shorter than the OSI one:

18
 TCP is a connection-oriented protocol; UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
is a connectionless protocol.

IP datagram’s

The IP layer provides a connectionless and unreliable delivery system. It

considers each datagram independently of the others. Any association
between datagram must be supplied by the higher layers. The IP layer
supplies a checksum that includes its own header. The header includes the
source and destination addresses. The IP layer handles routing through an
Internet. It is also responsible for breaking up large datagram into smaller
ones for transmission and reassembling them at the other end.

UDP

UDP is also connectionless and unreliable. What it adds to IP is a

checksum for the contents of the datagram and port numbers. These are used
to give a client/server model - see later.

19
TCP

TCP supplies logic to give a reliable connection-oriented protocol above

IP. It provides a virtual circuit that two processes can use to communicate.

Internet addresses

In order to use a service, you must be able to find it. The Internet uses an
address scheme for machines so that they can be located. The address is a 32
bit integer which gives the IP address. This encodes a network ID and more
addressing. The network ID falls into various classes according to the size of
the network address.

Network address

Class A uses 8 bits for the network address with 24 bits left over for
other addressing. Class B uses 16 bit network addressing. Class C uses 24
bit network addressing and class D uses all 32.

Subnet address

Internally, the UNIX network is divided into sub networks. Building 11

is currently on one sub network and uses 10-bit addressing, allowing 1024
different hosts.

Host address

8 bits are finally used for host addresses within our subnet. This places a
limit of 256 machines that can be on the subnet.

20
Total address

The 32 bit address is usually written as 4 integers separated by dots.

Port addresses

A service exists on a host, and is identified by its port. This is a 16 bit

number. To send a message to a server, you send it to the port for that
service of the host that it is running on. This is not location transparency!
Certain of these ports are "well known".

Sockets

A socket is a data structure maintained by the system to handle network

connections. A socket is created using the call socket. It returns an integer
that is like a file descriptor. In fact, under Windows, this handle can be used
with Read File and Write File functions.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int socket(int family, int type, int protocol);

21
 Here "family" will be AF_INET for IP communications, protocol will be
zero, and type will depend on whether TCP or UDP is used. Two processes
wishing to communicate over a network create a socket each. These are
similar to two ends of a pipe - but the actual pipe does not yet exist.

JFree Chart

JFreeChart is a free 100% Java chart library that makes it easy for developers to
display professional quality charts in their applications. JFreeChart's extensive feature
set includes:

• a consistent and well-documented API, supporting a wide range of chart types;

• a flexible design that is easy to extend, and targets both server-side and client-
side applications;
• support for many output types, including Swing components, image files
(including PNG and JPEG), and vector graphics file formats (including PDF,
EPS and SVG);
• JFreeChart is "open source" or, more specifically, free software. It is
distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public Licence
(LGPL), which permits use in proprietary applications.

1. Map Visualizations

Charts showing values that relate to geographical areas. Some examples include: (a)
population density in each state of the United States, (b) income per capita for each
country in Europe, (c) life expectancy in each country of the world. The tasks in this
project include:

• sourcing freely redistributable vector outlines for the countries of the world,
states/provinces in particular countries (USA in particular, but also other
areas);
• creating an appropriate dataset interface (plus default implementation), a
rendered, and integrating this with the existing XYPlot class in JFreeChart;
• Testing, documenting, testing some more, documenting some more.

22
2. Time Series Chart Interactivity

Implement a new (to JFreeChart) feature for interactive time series charts --- to
display a separate control that shows a small version of ALL the time series data, with
a sliding "view" rectangle that allows you to select the subset of the time series data to
display in the main chart.

3. Dashboards

There is currently a lot of interest in dashboard displays. Create a flexible dashboard

mechanism that supports a subset of JFreeChart chart types (dials, pies, thermometers,
bars, and lines/time series) that can be delivered easily via both Java Web Start and an
applet.

4. Property Editors

The property editor mechanism in JFreeChart only handles a small subset of the
properties that can be set for charts. Extend (or reimplement) this mechanism to
provide greater end-user control over the appearance of the charts.

SYSTEM DESIGN

Design Overview

Design involves identification of classes, their relationships as well as their

collaboration. In objectory ,classes were divided into Entity classes ,interface classes
and the control classes. The Computer Aided Software Engineering tools that are
available commercially do not provide any assistance in this transition. Even research
CASE tools take advantage of meta modeling are helpful only after the construction
of class diagram is completed. In the Fusion method ,it used some object-oriented
approaches like Object Modeling Technique(OMT),Class Responsibility
Collaborator(CRC) and Objectory , used the term Agents to represent some of the
hardware and software systems .In Fusion method, there was no requirement phase

23
,where in a user will supply the initial requirement document. Any software project is
worked out by both analyst and designer. The analyst creates the Use case diagram.
The designer creates the Class diagram. But the designer can do this only after the
analyst has created the Use case diagram. Once the design is over it is need to decide
which software is suitable for the application

SYSTEM TESTING

TESTING:

31
 Testing is a process of executing a program with a intent of finding an error.
 Testing presents an interesting anomaly for the software engineering.
 The goal of the software testing is to convince system developer and
customers that the software is good enough for operational use. Testing is a process
intended to build confidence in the software.
 Testing is a set of activities that can be planned in advance and conducted
systematically.
 Testing is a set of activities that can be planned in advance and conducted
systematically.
 Software testing is often referred to as verification & validation.

TYPE OF TESTING:
The various types of testing are
 White Box Testing
 Black Box Testing
 Alpha Testing
 Beta Testing
 Win Runner And Load Runner
 Load Runner
WHITE BOX TESTING:
• It is also called as glass-box testing. It is a test case design method that
uses the control structure of the procedural design to derive test cases.
• Using white box testing methods, the software engineer can derive test
cases that
1. Guarantee that all independent parts within a module have been exercised at least
once,
2. Exercise all logical decisions on their true and false sides.

BLACK BOX TESTING:

• Its also called as behavioral testing . It focuses on the
functional requirements of the software.

32
 • It is complementary approach that is likely to uncover a .
different class of errors than white box errors.
• A black box testing enables a software engineering to derive a
sets of input conditions that will fully exercise all functional
requirements for a program.

ALPHA TESTING:

Alpha testing is the software prototype stage when the software is first able to
run. It will not have all the intended functionality, but it will have core
functions and will be able to accept inputs and generate outputs. An alpha
test usually takes place in the developer's offices on a separate system.

BETA TESTING:

The beta test is a “ live “ application of the software in an environment that

cannot be controlled by the developer. The beta test is conducted at one or more
customer sites by the end user of the software.

WIN RUNNER & LOAD RUNNER:

We use Win Runner as a load testing tool operating at the GUI layer as it allows us
to record and playback user actions from a vast variety of user applications as if a
real user had manually executed those actions.

LOAD RUNNER TESTING:

33
 With Load Runner , you can Obtain an accurate picture of end-to-end system
performance. Verify that new or upgraded applications meet specified performance
requirements.

6.1.1 TESTING USED IN THIS PROJECT:

6.1.2 SYSTEM TESTING :

Testing of the debugging programs is one of the most critical aspects

of the computer programming triggers, without programs that works, the system
would never produce the output for which it was designed. Testing is best performed
when user development are asked to assist in identifying all errors and bugs. The
sample data are used for testing . It is not quantity but quality of the data used the
matters of testing. Testing is aimed at ensuring that the system was accurately an
efficiently before live operation commands.

6.1.3 UNIT TESTING:

34
 In this testing we test each module individually and integrate with
the overall system. Unit testing focuses verification efforts on the smallest unit of
software design in the module. This is also known as module testing. The module of
the system is tested separately . This testing is carried out during programming stage
itself . In this testing step each module is found to working satisfactorily as regard to
the expected output from the module. There are some validation checks for fields
also. It is very easy to find error debut in the system.

IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation is the stage of the project when the theoretical design is turned
out into a working system. Thus it can be considered to be the most critical stage in
achieving a successful new system and in giving the user, confidence that the new
system will work and be effective.

The implementation stage involves careful planning, investigation of the

existing system and it’s constraints on implementation, designing of methods to
achieve changeover and evaluation of changeover methods.

Implementation is the process of converting a new system design into

operation. It is the phase that focuses on user training, site preparation and file
conversion for installing a candidate system. The important factor that should be
considered here is that the conversion should not disrupt the functioning of the
organization.
The implementation can be preceded through Socket in java but it will be
considered as peer to peer communication .For proactive routing we need dynamic

35
routing. So java will be more suitable for platform independence and networking
concepts. For maintaining route information we go for MS-SQL as database back end.

The Queue is designed in order to create the packet loss. The queue receives
the packets from the Sender, creates the packet loss and then sends the remaining
packets to the Receiver.

Packet Receiver:
The Packet Receiver is used to receive the packets from the Queue after the
packet loss. Then the receiver displays the received packets from the Queue.

User Interface Design:

36
 In this module we design the user interface for Sender, Queue, Receiver and
Result displaying window. These windows are designed in order to display all the
processes in this project.

Packet Loss Calculation:

The calculations to find the packet loss are done in this module. Thus we are
developing the tool to find the packet loss.

8. CONCLUSION

The purpose of our study was to understand how to measure end-to-end packet loss
characteristics accurately with probes and in a way that enables us to specify the
impact on the bottleneck queue. We began by evaluating the capabilities of simple
Poisson-modulated probing in a controlled laboratory environment consisting of
commodity end hosts and IP routers. We consider this testbed ideal for loss
measurement tool evaluation since it enables repeatability, establishment of ground
truth, and a range of traffic conditions under which to subject the tool. Our initial tests
indicate that simple Poisson probing is relatively ineffective at measuring loss episode
frequency or measuring loss episode duration, especially when subjected to TCP
(reactive) cross traffic.
