Two Problems in Network Probing Abstract: In this talk I will report on two pieces of recent work in the field of probing based network measurement. The first is a topic in multicast based loss tomography. We show for the first time how temporal properties of link loss processes can be inferred, based on observed losses at the receiver leaves of a multicast tree. The second concerns optimal measurement of loss and delay based on probing. We show how, provided the underlying process being measured obeys a convexity property, that the optimal probing stream with respect to the sampling problem is 'universal' rather than being a function of the system being probed, and show how the optimal result can be approached in practice.
