Abstract:

A new extension header “the time stamp extension header” for IPv6 network is designed in order for recording the time when the packets pass the router. Using the packets, an improved measurement model of link utilization in IPv6 networks is proposed. The source sends probe packets with the time stamp extension header and the current time is recorded in the packets。With the processing of improved link utilization statistic algorithm, the link utilization is therefore obtained. Meanwhile using the special fields in the IPv6 header, the “test level” is designed to eliminate the influence of the current traffic. The approach is verified through simulations

Key words: IPv6, extension header, time stamp, link utilization
