Abstract

This project investigated the viability of data flows over the Worcester, MA. Sprint PCS EvDO network by building an experimental test bed between the WPI campus and the Spr int network. A custom-built bandwidth estimation tool yielded consistent estimates of available capacity of approximately 500 kbps over the EvDO network. Measured TCP throughput was slightly h igher on weekdays than weekdays, ninety percent of measured round trip times were below 210 ms, and performance analysis produced no significant time of day correlation.
