Abstract

The popularity of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has created an immense amount of research for the analysis of these networks and the traffic produced by popular applications such as Facebook. In this paper we study the networking characteristics of OSNs in mobile networks, analyzing the most popular OSNs in western countries: Facebook and WhatsApp. By analyzing two large-scale traffic traces collected at the cellular network of a major European ISP, we characterize and compare the networking behavior of Facebook and WhatsApp, considering not only the traffic flows but also the network infrastructures hosting them. To enable a better understanding of the Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements of these two applications in the mobile context, we present the results of a subjective QoE study of both Facebook and WhatsApp in smartphones. Our study serves the main purpose of better understanding how major OSNs are provisioned in today's mobile networks, paying special attention to their QoE characteristics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper providing such an analysis using large-scale measurements in cellular networks and subjective QoE tests in smartphones.

QoMOSN -移动在线社交网络流量与体验质量分析

在线社交网络(OSNs)的流行为分析这些网络和流行应用程序(如Facebook)产生的流量创造了大量的研究。本文研究了移动网络中osn的组网特点，分析了西方国家最流行的两个osn: Facebook和WhatsApp。通过分析在欧洲主要ISP的蜂窝网络上收集的两个大规模流量痕迹，我们不仅考虑流量流，还考虑托管它们的网络基础设施，我们描述并比较了Facebook和WhatsApp的网络行为。为了更好地理解这两个应用程序在移动环境下的体验质量(QoE)要求，我们提出了对智能手机中Facebook和WhatsApp的主观QoE研究结果。我们的研究的主要目的是更好地理解当今移动网络中主要osn的配置方式，并特别关注它们的QoE特征。据我们所知，这是第一篇利用蜂窝网络中的大规模测量和智能手机中的主观QoE测试提供此类分析的论文。
