1. Available Bandwidth Measurement Using Real Time Operating Systems Dennis S. Knoop

2. Proposal The goal of this project is to study the effectiveness of using a Real Time Operating System to improve the accuracy of network measurement.

3. Historical Background BProbe and CProbe were developed by Bob Carter and Mark Crovella of Boston University Tool uses ICMP echo request UCCS students, under the supervision of Dr. Chow, have modified the available bandwidth tool Initial time gaps are still a problem

4. Project Plan Analyze current ABWM Tool Research Real-Time Operating Systems Load Real-time operating system Port current ABWM Tool to RTOS Analyze results

5. Current Status Analyzed current ABW Tool Researched Real Time Operating Systems Chose RTLinux as the RTOS Loaded RTLinux on viva.uccs.edu server Ran sample/example programs Working on Port of ABW Tool to RTLinux
