Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a tool, called NetTracer, for finding the location and for measuring the bandwidth of the bottleneck link along a path through the Internet. Although the techniques and implementation of NetTracer are similar to those of Pathchar, NetTracer does not suffer from the invisible node problem ; that is, unlike Pathchar, it could accurately measure the bandwidth of the bottleneck link even when store-and-forward invisible nodes, which do not decrement the IP TTL, exist along a path. Preliminary experiments conducted on a network at Chiba university indicate that, in terms of accuracy and robustness, NetTracer is superior to currently known tools including Pathchar.
