Abstract

The popularity of applications changes fast in current Internet and the result is that the characteristics of Internet traffic also goes over a rapid change. In this paper we present the main characteristics of three popular applications based on actual measurements taken from a commercial network. BitTorrent as one of the leading P2P file sharing applications, YouTube as the head of video sharing applications and Facebook as the prominent online social networking application are investigated. Comparative results at both application- and flow-levels are presented and discussed.
