To test the inter-packet spacing theory in a controlled
environment, we built an experimental testbed. The base
scenario is depicted in Figure 1, where the only traffic on the
network was the traffic generated from our client. The first
scenario shows a PC server machine, a laptop acting as a
client connected by a 100Mbps shared hub (the hub was only
used to create a scenario where we could sniff the traffic on
the link). An additional PC was used to observe traffic
traversing the link. The network sniffing software used was
Ethereal [10].
