Measuring Internet Experience from Home Networks — Renata Cruz Teixeira

With the availability of cheap broadband connectivity, Internet access from the home has become a ubiquity. Modern households host a multitude of networked devices, ranging from personal devices such as laptops and smartphones to printers and media centers. These devices connect among themselves and to the Internet via a local-area network—a home network— that has become an important part of the “Internet experience”, and consequently, has started to attract the interest of the network monitoring community. Our long-term goal is to assist users with concrete indicators of the causes of potential problems and—ideally—ways to fix them. In this talk, I’ll present our research in home network diagnosis.
