ABSTRACT:
Effective bandwidth of a communication link is determined in a heterogeneous, packet switched network between a source and a destination, where effective bandwidth is defined as the actual available bandwidth between the server and the client, minus the overhead of the various network protocols used to transmit the data. The method includes maintaining a database of bandwidth parameters indexed by destination address, and using the database when setting a communication channel.
