We present RCM, a system to monitor link delays on a network using a single measurement host. RCM is a combination of a new measurement system and a new network tomography technique. The measurement system employs tunnels to connect to border routers where it can source and sink measurements across the network. RCM uses network tomography to calculate the delays across individual network links from these measurements. The network tomography technique expands on previous linear algebra techniques to deal with the limitations of the resulting data without assuming either link delay symmetry or a particular topology. The network tomographic technique is compared against direct measurements in simulation to ensure accuracy. RCM is deployed on a large ISP's network to diagnose the cause of end-to-end delays, from which additional results are presented. The results are compared against known behaviors of the network to ensure the results are consistent with those behaviors. The system is analyzed for its ability to pin-point the cause of changes in end-to-end delay.
