As a consequence, the characterization of the buffer is interesting, especially when multimedia flows are transmitted and even more if they transport information with real-time requirements.This work presents a new methodology with the aim of determining the technical and functional characteristics of real buffers (i.e., behaviour, size, limits, and input and output rate) of a network path. It permits the characterization of intermediate buffers of different devices in a network path across the Internet info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/TEC2011-23037 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-5237-0447 Fernández-Navajas, Julián Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6977-6363 Saldaña, José (orcid)0000-0002-8682-745X Gállego, José Ramón Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8298-4300 Canales, María Universidad de Zaragoza 5008 560 Universidad de Zaragoza Departamento de Ingeniería Electrónica y Comunicaciones Ingenieria Telematica 2014 (2014), 238682 [9 pp.] Sci. world j.
