Abstract
Comparing two or more routes on Internet is difficult owing to the variability of the measurements resulting from the different routes or use conditions. With current tools such as SDN[1], it is important to determine with certainty which the best route between a user and an internet service. This will be achieved with fast measurements which do not affect the operation of the network. With trends such as IoT, the best routes can be identified based on latency and not just on the jumps between autonomous systems, fact that optimizes data traffic in a specific way whether it is IPv4 or IPv6. As time elapses, it becomes more important to have a perfect setting for the LAN, which means optimal DNS, LDAP Servers appropriate number, etc. Thats why we propose a precise method that contemplates every possible variation of data, thus making a comparison by means of the use of confidence limits.
