ACQUA

Participants : Chadi Barakat [correspondant] , Salim Afra, Damien Saucez.

ACQUA is an Application for Predicting User Quality of Experience at Internet Access. It was supported by the French ANR CMON project on collaborative monitoring. ACQUA presents a new way for the evaluation of the performance of Internet access. Starting from network-level measurements as the ones we often do today (bandwidth, delay, loss rates, etc), ACQUA targets the estimated quality of experience related to the different applications if run at the access. An application in ACQUA is a function that links the network-level measurements to its expected quality of experience. In its first version (the version available online), ACQUA was concentrating on delay measurements at the access and on the detection and estimation of the impact of delay anomalies (local problems, remote problems, etc). The current work is concentrating on using the ACQUA principle in the estimation and prediction of the quality of experience of main applications (see section  6.2 for more details).
