In this demo, we present a home network traffic monitoring platform. Our solution is based on two main software components using standard IPFIX flow export architecture: a probe and a collector. The probe role is to capture flows in progress and to perform real time traffic classification. We implemented the probe on an actual home gateway prototype showing its feasibility on hardware constrained...
Traffic characterization is a key aspect for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to tune up their networks according to their customers' requirements. Despite the significant gap between business and residential customers, a large body of literature measurements is performed at higher observation points and only few studies have examined residential traffic characteristics. Furthermore, traffic analysis...
Trafile monitoring is a challenging task that has been addressed by various research studies in recent years, especially for large networks. However, fewer studies have been conducted on home networks. In this paper, we tackle trafile monitoring issue in home networks focusing on anomaly detection use case. In fact, home networks are observing a continuous increase of complexity lead by the introduction...
Home network complexity is dramatically growing in terms of topology (devices and connectivity technologies) and services leading to increasingly challenging management issues. In this context, enabling a better visibility of home network traffic usage and performance is a crucial step to provide efficient selfcare and customer care. In this paper, we study home network traffic monitoring architectural...
This paper considers “hybrid networking” with a convergence mechanism at layer 2.5 as addressed by the IEEE 1905.1 standard. The developed hybrid infrastructure network provides a seamless integration of three different communication technologies: Ethernet, Wireless LAN, and Power line Communication (PLC). The network enables a global view of the network topology regardless of the technologies running...
Home network complexity is increasing with the multiplication of the devices and the services. Moreover, heterogeneous connectivity technologies are used, typically: Ethernet, WiFi and PLC (Power Line Communication); which might contribute to customers' confusion whenever there is any service degradation. Therefore, along with efficient monitoring and management tools, mechanisms improving home network...

The growing complexity of home networks due to the proliferation of devices, services and connectivity technologies lead to an increase of the potential sources of problems, ranging from simple software bugs and connectivity disruptions, to the trickier issues of periodic service degradations. For ISPs (Internet Service Providers), handling quickly, simply, and efficiently troubleshooting operations...
In a previous work, we described a green path selection protocol based on the inter-MAC convergence layer for heterogeneous mesh home networks. We showed the interesting features that it offers: simplicity, enhanced QoS and energy consumption reduction. In this paper, we present the associated performance evaluation conducted on an experimental testbed. We recall the principles of our solution and...
Gigabit home networks represent a key technology to make the Future Internet success a reality. Consumers will require networks to be simple to install, without the need of any new wire and with green consideration. To make this network ubiquitous, seamless and robust, a technology independent MAC layer will ensure its global control and provide connectivities to any number of devices the user wishes...
The time-varying capacity links, such as wireless links and power line communication (PLC) links, which are integrated to emergent connectivity devices of Home Networks (HNs) require QoS mechanisms to protect sensitive and critical HN flows. In this paper, we couple the “Iperf in lightweight TCP mode” probing technique (developed in a previous work to estimate available bandwidth) with the path selection...
A number of studies show that most of current probing tools, for available bandwidth, exhibit low accuracy, and slow convergence in Home Networks. Some reasons of this behavior include the high queuing variability of probing flows, which is induced by multiple-access mechanisms, time-variant capacity links of hybrid paths, and the instability of beta probing tools. Considering these constrains of...
Broadband access to the Internet at home was the first step in the emergence of so called Home Networks. In a close future, the number of appliance connected will rise and the network will become the home backbone. This lead us to a mesh architecture, in which routing will be mandatory. This paper introduces a complete system to, first, pilot the forwarding in order to ensure a proper quality of experience;...
