I was wondering: is it possible to calculate bandwidth information from a simple traceroute
command? Maybe an approximation using the distance between the nodes could be possible.
The reason I am asking is my slight confusion after reading this Wikipedia article, providing the formula given below
Throughoutput <= RWIN / RTT
Where
RWIN is the Receive Window Size
and
RTT is the Round-Trip Time
The result of this equation is the Maximum Bandwidth between the two nodes.
So it looks to me that we getting bandwidth information from latency.
