Title
A System for Linking Ground Truth to Mobile Network Traffic.
Abstract
Mobile network traffic engineering and management activities require traffic traces where each packet or flow is associated with some ground truth regarding mobile app or protocol. This paper presents a system named mobilegt that collects mobile traffic and links the ground truth to it without rooting mobile devices. It consists of two elements: mobilegt client and mobilegt server. Mobilegt client iteratively probes monitored mobile nodes' kernel to obtain socket information on active TCP/UDP sessions. Mobilegt server captures the packets generated on monitored nodes at the aid of Virtual Private Network (VPN), and labels each packet/flow by exploring the association between socket and packet. Our preliminary experimental results show that mobilegt can tag more than 98% of bytes and 93% of flows on average without significantly affecting CPU load.
