Abstract
The use of multicast inference on end-to-end measurement has recently been proposed as a means to infer network internal characteristics such as packet loss rate and network topology. In this paper we propose and evaluate new algorithms for multicast topology inference based on measurement of end-to-end loss. We compare their accuracy and comment on their computational complexity
