Effect of QoS degradation caused by 6to4 and IPsec on QoE for Web services

Abstract

This paper assesses influence of QoS degradation caused by 6to4 and IPsec on QoE of Web services by experiment. Since utilization of 6to4 and IPsec requires some overheads, QoS degradation caused by them is inevitable. The degradation can also deteriorate QoE of the Web service, but the affect of the degradation has not been clarified. From the experimental results, the authors confirm QoS degradation but see little QoE deterioration. This implies 6to4 and IPSec are usable from a user's point of view.
