Abstract
Today’s Internet is dominated by HTTP services and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Popular web services like Facebook and YouTube are hosted by highly distributed CDNs like Akamai and Google. Understanding this new complex Internet scenario is paramount for network operators, to control the traffic on their networks and to improve the quality experienced by their customers, specially when something goes wrong. This paper studies the most popular HTTP services and their underlying hosting networks, through the analysis of a full week of HTTP traffic traces collected at an operational mobile network.
This work has been performed in the framework of the EU-IP project mPlane, funded by the European Commission under the grant 318627.
