“…However, all of these studies stand from outside home networks, and lack the visibility of the home networks, such as home network architecture, diversity of end hosts. For example, [7] examines the growth of residential user-to-user traffic in Japan, a country with a high penetration rate of residential broadband access, and studies the impact of these traffic on usage patterns and traffic engineering of commercial backbone networks. In addition, [8] studies several properties of broadband networks, including link capacities, round-trip times, jitter, and packet loss rates using active TCP and ICMP probes, while [9] passively collects packet-level traffic data of residential networks at aggregated routers of a large Internet service provider, and analyzes dominant characteristics of residential traffic including network and transport-level features, prominent applications, and network path dynamics.…”
