Abstract

In this paper, we analyze traffic seen at public WLANs "in the wild" where we do not have access to any of the backend infrastructure. We study six such traces collected around Portland, Oregon and conduct an analysis of fine time scale (second or fraction of a second) packet, flow, and error characteristics of these networks.
