A link to my HTML resume is available. In my dissertation, I present techniques and tools we have developed for measurement of bottleneck bandwidth and available bandwidth of paths in packet-switched networks. As an example application, we examine the server selection problem that arises when a client must choose among servers offering replicated information. We demonstrate that providing recent measurements of network state allows applications to actively avoid network congestion. Live Internet measurements establish the user-perceived improvement in response time while simulations indicate that network performance also improves.
