Measurement analysis of mobile traffic in enterprise networks

The number of mobile devices and the amount of mobile traffic are increasing rapidly. The users of mobile device use various services such as web surfing, email, video and audio streaming, etc. Analyzing mobile traffic is necessary to provide high quality mobile network services such as QoS management, traffic engineering, etc. In fact, several multi-flow applications consume a lot of mobile network resources. In this paper, we performed measurement analysis to observe not only application-level traffic characteristics, but also device-level traffic characteristics in terms of traffic volume and flow characteristics. We present the relationship between application traffic and its origin device to understand the application traffic generation from the different types of devices.
