Introduction
The Internet is a wide-ranging collection of networks, which as a whole has chaotic behaviour [5], characteristics. In order to understand, model and predict this behaviour, some type of accurate measurement is needed. One form of measurement is active measurement; this involves introducing packets into the network and measuring the way the network handles those packets. This paper focuses on packet delay measurements. Current techniques for measuring delay have certain issues related to their reliability. …
