More and more Internet services and applications are transferred by the HTTP protocol due to its openness. This brings new challenges to the security management of network boundary. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to detect the pseudo Web behavior which abuses the general HTTP protocol to pass through the network boundary. A new parameter is defined to extract the features of Web-sess...

HTTP and HTTPS traffic recorded at the perimeter of an organization is an exhaustive data source for the forensic investigation of security incidents. However, due to the nested nature of today's Web page structures, it is a huge manual effort to tell apart benign traffic caused by regular user browsing from malicious traffic that relates to malware or insider threats. We present Hviz, an inter...

Over a period of time the volume of network traffic generated by an Internet application is equal to the cumulative size of the packets that carried the traffic. We propose a method of estimating the expected volume of network traffic that will be generated by a population of WorldWide Web users based on estimating the cumulative size of the expected hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) packets. ...

We consider an IEEE 802.11 based wireless LAN where an access point is used to connect a fixed number of users to the Web or to a shared file system. Users alternate between activity periods (corresponding to the download of a file) and idle periods (corresponding to think times). We first consider the interaction of TCP with the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, and get approximate expressions for the...

The rapid growth of the Web results in heavier loads on server/network and in increased latency experienced while retrievingWeb documents. Internet traffic is further aggravated by its burstiness, which complicates the design and allocation of network components. Bursty traffic alternates peak periods with lulls. This paper presents a framework that exploits idle periods to satisfy future HTTP ...

This paper analyzes two one week long traces of all the interdomain traffic of two very different ISPs. The analysis correlates the received traffic with the BGP routing table of the studied ISPs. We first analyze the topological distribution of the traffic throughout the Internet. Then, we analyze the variability of the interdomain flows by considering their activity and the variability of the...

TCP performance is a critical factor in the successful deployment of HTTP-based applications in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In this study, we evaluate a sender-based heuristic, which has been shown to improve performance for large FTP file transfers, for HTTP traffic loads. Using the ns-2 simulator, we examine the impact of the proposed technique on the HTTP performance of three on-demand ...

This paper presents a new HTTP traffic model based on the aggregation concept. The model development, evaluation and application are shown. In addition to the basic HTTP traffic characteristics, the traffic model has an easy and accurate load control. Some examples are provided to present the traffic model usage.
