As part of a broader organisational restructure, data networking research at Swinburne University of Technology has moved from the Centre for Advanced Internet Architecture (CAIA) to the Internet For Things (I4T) Research Lab.

Although CAIA no longer exists, this website reflects CAIA's activities and outputs between March 2002 and February 2017, and is being maintained as a service to the broader data networking research community.


Set A 1msec Packet Inter-Arrival Time


The following section shows the difference between automatically allowing the interface to detect the line speed and explicitly setting the line speed of an interface for 1msec packet inter-arrival time.

Explicitly setting the line speed to 10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec results in the time stamps of the packets being accurately closer to the theoretically ideal time stamp. The time stamps of the packets when the interface line speed was configured to auto-detect once again caused a few outliers.

Figure 6: Automatic 10Mbit/sec
Figure 7: Explicit 10Mbit/sec
Figure 8: Automatic 100Mbit/sec
Figure 9: Explicit 100Mbit/sec

We can see from the Tables below that the variance and standard deviation only slightly improved when the line speed was explicitly configured due to the elimination of the few far outliers.
