Sensitivity to web hosting in a mobile field survey

Abstract

Thanks to the fact that Belgium is a densely populated country, and also lags behind in the roll-out of Long Term Evolution (LTE) / 4G, it is still possible to visit areas enjoying different Radio Access Technology (RAT) coverages within a limited territory. This paper reports an analysis of the dataset of web requests collected through a field survey mostly performed in south-western Belgium and northern France. This analysis focuses on the impact of the spreading of web sites across CDNs.
