I was wondering: is it possible to calculate bandwidth information from a simple traceroute
command? Maybe an approximation using the distance between the nodes could be possible.
The reason I am asking is my slight confusion after reading this Wikipedia article, providing the formula given below
Throughoutput <= RWIN / RTT
Where
RWIN is the Receive Window Size
and
RTT is the Round-Trip Time
The result of this equation is the Maximum Bandwidth between the two nodes.
So it looks to me that we getting bandwidth information from latency.
1No is the short answer. – DavidPostill – 2014-11-06T18:55:27.147
