I suppose everybody has heard of QoS ( Quality of Service) once or
twice. It allows applications to request a certain level of quality from
the various network nodes that will be handling their traffic.
What I would like to know, is if there is an application that can show
the shape of the traffic and where a congestion is taking place.
For example, if I am listening to an icecast radio channel it tends to
break occasionely.
Let's say that the source resides somewhere in Norway and I am in South
Africa. I currently have no idea of knowing whether the buffer underruns
are being caused by something very local to the the source, or perhaps
the ISP of the source, a router in Albany or whether the problem lies
far more local. Perhaps even very local.
This is just an example. I am curious whether there is a way to watch
(preferably graphical) the shapes of the traffic I am causing, around
the globe.
