User-oriented performance evaluation of data communication services: measurement results

Abstract
The authors report the results of the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) measurements of a particular data communication performance parameter, block transfer time, on several public data networks. The measurements were conducted in accordance with the general requirements set out in American National Standards X3.102 and X3.141, and a specific experimental design. Issues associated with the proper interpretation of end-to-end data communication performance values are identified and discussed.
