Abstract

Many new factors influence on Internet Traffic nowadays including new features of HTTP/1.1, introduction of new browsers, extremely high penetration of P2P applications and changes in WEB content. A new Toolkit was used by authors to measure Traffic on access network of 1500 users in the center of Moscow. The collected data was handled for 2 levels: TCP connections level and HTTP Message level. Intervals between TCP connections and HTTP Request and Response Length were studied in details. Based on the collected statistics a new HTTP Traffic Model was built by using NS2 simulator and PackMIME package.
