Integrated analysis method on HTTP traffic
Chang-Gyu Jin, Mi-Jung Choi · 2012
Internet traffic volume has been increasing rapidly due to popularization of various multimedia services such as P2P, streaming and online games other than simple Web browsing. In addition, management of increased Internet traffic is regarded as important to provide stable services guaranteeing QoS (Quality of Service) and security. In particular, for the HTTP traffic, its amount used is also on the rise due to an increase of smart devices, and utilized for a variety of purposes. Therefore, analysis and management on HTTP traffic is getting more important. This paper proposes an analysis method for each site at a server side and application levels at a client side in a server/client model of HTTP traffic. It could understand characteristics of HTTP traffic and prepare an efficient management method for the future increasing HTTP traffic through the integrated analysis in the HTTP traffic's server/client respect. It would like to prove validity of the HTTP traffic analysis method proposed in this paper by collecting traffic of campus networks to apply the proposed methodology.
