Abstract

In this work, we study YouTube traffic characteristics in a medium-sized Swedish residential municipal network that has - 2600 mainly FTTH broadband-connected households. YouTube traffic analyses were carried out in the perspective of video clip category and duration, in order to understand their impact on the potential local network caching gains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time systematic analysis of YouTube traffic content in the perspective of video clip category and duration in a residential broadband network. Our results show that the requested YouTube video clips from the end users in the studied network were imbalanced in regarding the video categories and durations. The dominating video category was Music, both in terms of the total traffic share as well as the contribution to the overall potential local network caching gain. In addition, most of the requested video clips were between 2-5 min in duration, despite video clips with durations over 15 min were also popular among certain video categories, e.g. film videos.

基于片段类别和时长的Youtube流量内容分析

在这项工作中，我们在一个中型瑞典住宅市政网络中研究了YouTube的流量特征，该网络有2,600个主要是FTTH宽带连接的家庭。从视频剪辑类别和持续时间的角度对YouTube流量进行了分析，以了解它们对潜在本地网络缓存收益的影响。据我们所知，这是第一次从视频片段类别和时长的角度在住宅宽带网络中对YouTube流量内容进行系统分析。我们的研究结果表明，在研究的网络中，最终用户请求的YouTube视频剪辑在视频类别和持续时间方面是不平衡的。在总流量份额和对整体潜在本地网络缓存收益的贡献方面，占主导地位的视频类别是音乐。此外，大多数要求的视频片段的长度在2-5分钟之间，尽管长度超过15分钟的视频片段在某些视频类别中也很受欢迎，例如电影视频。
