Mobilegt: A system to collect mobile traffic trace and build the ground truth

Abstract

labeled mobile network traffic traces are the foundation of mobile traffic research. However, traditional label method may be not suitable for mobile traffic. This paper devised a mobilegt to address this problem. It is composed by mobilegt client and mobilegt server. Mobilegt client includes a socket logger and a traffic manager. Mobilegt server includes a VPN server, a traffic logger and a traffic label model. Mobilegt associates apps with mobile traffic. Researchers can obtain labeled mobile traffic by it without network management privilege. Experimental results show that its completeness can achieve to 98% and 93% in terms of bytes and flows respectively.
