Packet-pair behavior in wired and 802.11-type wireless connection and the use of data clustering algorithms for dispersion-mode tracking

Packet-pair bandwidth probing in wired-cum-wireless network paths was tested and analyzed in a C++ simulation environment using link models verified alongside Opnet results. Some major differences were noted between these results and those of pure wired scenarios investigated in earlier work. Attempts were made to use a dynamic Gaussian-mix algorithm to identify data clusters within the bandwidth distribution.
