Indeed, the Internet is based on decentralization and diversity. However, its distributed nature leads to operational brittleness and difficulty in identifying the root causes of performance degradation. In such a context, network measurements are a fundamental pillar to shed light and to unveil design and implementation defects. To tackle this fragmentation and visibility problem, we have recently conceived mPlane, a distributed measurement platform which runs, collects and analyses traffic measurements to study the operation and functioning of the Internet. In this paper, we show the potentiality of the mPlane approach to unveil network and service degradation issues in live, operational networks, involving both fixed-line and cellular networks. In particular, we combine active and passive measurements to troubleshoot problems in end-customer Internet access connections, or to automatically detect and diagnose anomalies in Internet-scale services (e.g., YouTube) which impact a large number of end-users.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martin Varela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierdomenico Fiadino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirko Schiavone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Helena Rivas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raimund Schatz</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">On the Analysis of QoE in Cellular Networks: from Subjective Tests to Large-scale Traffic Measurements</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6th International Workshop on Traffic Analysis and Characterization (TRAC)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arian Bär</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lukasz Golab</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stefan Ruehrup</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirko Schiavone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cache Oblivious Scheduling of Shared Workloads</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31st IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">05/2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seoul, Korea</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Shared workload optimization is feasible if the set of tasks to be executed is known in advance, as is the case in updating a set of materialized views or executing an extract-transform-load workflow. In this paper, we consider dataintensive shared workloads with precedence constraints arising from data dependencies, i.e., before executing some task, other tasks may have to run first and generate some data needed by the next task(s). While there has been previous work on identifying common subexpressions in shared workloads and task re-ordering to enable shared scans, in this paper we go a step further and solve the problem of scheduling shared data-intensive workloads in a cache-oblivious way. Our solution relies on a novel formulation of precedence constrained scheduling with the additional constraint that once a data item is in the cache, all tasks that require this data item should execute as soon as possible thereafter. The intuition behind this formulation is that the longer a data item remains in the cache, the more likely it is to be evicted regardless of the cache size. We give an optimal ordering algorithm using A* search over the space of possible orderings, and we propose efficient and effective heuristics that obtain nearly-optimal results in much less time. We present experimental results on real-life data warehouse workloads and the TCP-DS benchmark to validate our claims.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierdomenico Fiadino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandro D'Alconzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirko Schiavone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Challenging Entropy-based Anomaly Detection and Diagnosis in Cellular Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACM SIGCOMM</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maurizio Dusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A.

A major limitation of traceroute when the destination is not controllable by the user is its inability to measure reverse paths, i.e., the path from a destination back to the source. Proposed techniques to address this issue &amp;nbsp;rely on IP address spoofing, which might lead to security concerns. In this paper we introduce and evaluate DisNETPerf, a new tool for locating probes that are the closest to a distant server. Those probes are then used to collect data from the server point-of-view to the service user for path performance monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. We propose two techniques for probe location, and demonstrate that the reverse path can be measured with very high accuracy in certain scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal"

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;YouTube is the most popular service in today's Internet. Google relies on its massive Content Delivery Network (CDN) to push YouTube videos as close as possible to the end-users to improve their Quality of Experience (QoE), as well as to pursue its own optimization goals. Adopting space and time variant traffic delivery policies, Google servers handle users' requests from multiple geo-distributed locations at different times. Such traffic delivery policies can have a relevant impact on the traffic routed through the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) providing the access, but most importantly, they can have negative effects on the end-user QoE. In this paper we shed light on the problem of diagnosing QoE-based performance degradation events in YouTube's traffic. Through the analysis of one month of YouTube flow traces collected at the network of a large European ISP, we particularly identify and drill down a Google's CDN server selection policy negatively impacting the watching experience of YouTube users during several days at peak-load times. The analysis combines both the user-side perspective and the CDN perspective of the end-to-end YouTube delivery service to diagnose the problem. On the one hand, we rely on the monitoring of YouTube QoE-based Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to detect performance degradation events affecting the end-customers. On the other hand, we analyze the temporal behavior of the Google CDN traffic delivery policies, by tracking the activity of the Google servers providing the videos. The analysis is supported by time-series analysis, entropy-based approaches, and clustering techniques to flag the aforementioned anomaly. The main contributions of the paper are threefold: firstly, we provide a large-scale characterization of the YouTube service in terms of traffic characteristics and provisioning behavior of the Google CDN servers. Secondly, we introduce simple yet effective QoE-based KPIs to monitor YouTube videos from the end-user perspective. Finally and most important, we analyze and provide evidence of the occurrence of QoE-based YouTube anomalies induced by CDN server selection policies, which are somehow normally hidden from the common knowledge of the end-user. This is a main issue for ISPs, who see their reputation degrade when such events occur, even if Google is the culprit.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andreas Sackl</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sebastian Egger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raimund Schatz</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Characterizing Microsoft Lync Online in Mobile Networks: a Quality of Experience Perspective</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3rd IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Audioconferencing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cloud QoE</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Data Center</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microsoft Lync Online</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MOS</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remote Desktop Sharing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Telepresence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Videoconferencing</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luxembourg, Luxembourg</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Cloud-based systems are gaining enormous popularity due to a number of promised benefits, including ease of deployment and administration, scalability and flexibility, and costs savings. However, as more personal and business applications migrate to the Cloud, the service quality becomes an important differentiator between providers. ISPs, Cloud providers and enterprises migrating their services to the Cloud must therefore understand the network requirements to ensure proper end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) in these services. This paper addresses the problem of QoE in Telepresence and Remote Collaboration (TRC) services provided by Microsoft Lync Online (MLO). MLO is a Cloud-based service providing online meeting capabilities including videoconferencing, audio calls, and desktop sharing, and has become the default system for TRC in enterprise scenarios. We present a complete study of the QoE undergone by 44 MLO users in controlled subjective lab tests. The study is performed on three different interactive scenarios running on top of the real MLO Cloud service, additionally shaping the Lync flows at the access network to influence the participants experience. The scenarios include audioconferencing, videoconferencing, and remote collaboration though desktop sharing. By passively monitoring the end-to-end QoS achieved by the Lync flows, and correlating it with the QoE feedbacks provided by the participants, this study permits to better understand the interplays between network performance and QoE in TRC Cloud services. In addition, we provide a network-level characterization of the traffic generated by MLO, as well as an overview on the infrastructure hosting MLO servers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierdomenico Fiadino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandro D’Alconzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Characterizing Web Services Provisioning via CDNs: The Case of Facebook</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5th International Workshop on TRaffic Analysis and Characterization</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Akamai</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Content Delivery Networks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facebook</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HTTP Traffic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mobile networks</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">08/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicosia, Cyprus</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Today’s Internet consists of massive scale web&amp;nbsp;services and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).

Network monitoring typically requires rolling data analysis, i.e., continuously and incrementally updating (rolling-over) various reports and statistics over high-volume data streams. In this paper, we describe DBStream, which is an SQL-based system that explicitly supports incremental queries for rolling data analysis. We also present a performance comparison of DBStream with a parallel data processing engine (Spark), showing that, in some scenarios, a single DBStream node can outperform a cluster of ten Spark nodes on rolling network monitoring workloads. Although our performance evaluation is based on network monitoring data, our results can be generalized to other big data problems with high volume and velocity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brian Trammell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dario Rossi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arian Bär</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zied Ben-Houidi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ilias Leontiadis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tivadar Szemethy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marco Mellia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mPlane: an Intelligent Measurement Plane for the Internet</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Monitoring and Troubleshooting Multi-domain Networks using Measurement Federations</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">05/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">42</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierdomenico Fiadino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arian Bär</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Understanding HTTP Traffic and CDN Behavior from the Eyes of a Mobile ISP</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Passive and Active Measurements Conference (PAM)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierdomenico Fiadino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirko Schiavone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vivisecting WhatsApp through Large-Scale Measurements in Mobile Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SIGCOMM 2014</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Large-Scale Measurements</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mobile networks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WhatsApp</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">08/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACM</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chicago, USA</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;WhatsApp, the new giant in instant multimedia messaging in mobile networks is rapidly increasing its popularity, taking over the traditional SMS/MMS messaging.

Through the combined analysis of passive measurements at the core of a national mobile network, worldwide geo-distributed active measurements, and traffic analysis at end devices, we show that: (i) the WhatsApp hosting architecture is highly centralized and exclusively located in the US; (ii) video sharing covers almost 40% of the total WhatsApp traffic volume; (iii) flow characteristics depend on the OS of the end device; (iv) despite the big latencies to US servers, download throughputs are as high as 1.5 Mbps; (v) users react immediately and negatively to service outages through social networks feedbacks.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandro D'Alconzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierdomenico Fiadino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arian Bär</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandro Finamore</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Who to Blame when YouTube is not Working?

In this paper we present an empirical analysis of the performance of YouTube flows accessed through a national-wide cellular network, considering download throughput as well as end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics. The analysis considers the characteristics and impacts of the Content Delivery Network hosting YouTube, and compares its behavior with other popular HTTP video streaming services accessed through cellular networks. The QoE analysis is performed through end-user device measurements, which directly reflect the experience of the end-users. Our study additionally shows the potentiality of monitoring YouTube performance in cellular networks directly from the smart-phones of the users, bypassing the traffic visibility loss at the core of the network introduced by traffic encryption (e.g., HTTPS).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pietro Michiardi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonio Barbuzzi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandro Finamore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stefano Traverso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Daniele Apiletti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elena Baralis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tania Cerquitelli</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silvia Chiusano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luigi Grimaudo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A.

Starting from the use cases defined in WP1, we identify the algorithms needed to address the various scenario requirements. Operating on a large amount of data, these algorithms strive for parallel and scalable approaches; the designing and implementation of the algorithm itself can be a challenging research task since today very little is known concerning how to develop efficient and scalable algorithms that runs on parallel processing frameworks.&lt;br /&gt;The algorithm in the storage layer are characterized by the fact that they operate on a large amount of data, and produce a concise representation of it, extracting features and aggregating it, so that the produced output is easier to handle and understand. Depending on the amount of data produced, on the scenario characteristics and on the time constraints, algorithms can require a real time (or near real time) or a batch processing.&lt;br /&gt;For each algorithm and use case, the input data and the initial state, the computation to run and the output produced are described.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Deliverable</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Bär</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P.

Single hosts providing exclusive services at fixed IP addresses was the standard approach. Current situation has drastically changed, and the mapping of IPs to different content and services is nowadays extremely dynamic. The adoption of large CDNs by major Internet players, the extended usage of transparent content caching, the explosion of Cloud-based services, and the decoupling between content providers and the hosting infrastructure have created a difficult to manage Internet landscape. Understanding such a complex scenario is paramount for network operators, both to control the traffic on their networks and to improve the quality experienced by their customers, specially when something goes wrong. Using a full week of HTTP traffic traces collected at the mobile broadband network of a major European ISP, this paper studies the associations between web services, the hosting organizations-ASes, and the content servers' IPs. By mining correlations among these, we extract useful insights about the dynamics of the IP addressing space used by the top web services, and the way content providers and hosting organizations deliver their services to the mobile endusers. The extracted knowledge is applied on two specific use-cases, the former on hosting and service delivery characterization, the latter on automatic IP-based HTTP services classification.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P.

Today’s Internet users exchange most of their content via HTTP. In this paper we address the problem of on-line HTTP traffic classification from network measurements. Building on the results provided by HTTPTag, a flexible system for on-line HTTP classification, we present and explore Mini-IPC. Mini-IPC is a minimalist approach for classifying HTTP flows using only the IP addresses of the servers hosting the corresponding content. Using one full week of HTTP traffic traces collected at the mobile broadband network of a major European ISP, we investigate to which extent the most popular HTTP-based services are hosted by well-defined sets of IP addresses, and evaluate the performance of Mini-IPC to classify these services using IPs only.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maurizio Dusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saverio Niccolini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonio Barbuzzi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">M.

In this paper we introduce YOUQMON, a novel on-line monitoring system for assessing the Quality of Experience (QoE) undergone by HSPA/3G customers watching YouTube videos, using network-layer measurements only. YOUQMON combines passive traffic analysis techniques to detect stalling events in YouTube video streams, with a QoE model to map stallings into a Mean Opinion Score reflecting the end-user experience. We evaluate the stalling detection performance of YOUQMON with hundreds of YouTube video streams, and present results showing the feasibility of performing real-time YouTube QoE monitoring in an operational mobile broadband network.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
