With network neutrality regulation imposed worldwide at different extents, there is a need for monitoring tools to verify if Internet service providers (among other actors) comply with the existing rules. Among the very few maintained tools, Wehe has been developed by Northeastern University and has been publicized by the French regulator, ARCEP. The tool runs traces and produces a positive or negative response about service differentiation, but users have to trust that result without any visual perception of the degradation. Our goal in this paper is to describe a demonstrator of Wehe for video streaming, from which we can simultaneously see a baseline video and its manually-differentiated counterpart, as well as run Wehe to evaluate its response with respect to the perceived quality degradation. The demonstrator allows to study the efficiency of Wehe in order to propose potential improvements, if needed.

摘要

With network neutrality regulation imposed worldwide at different extents, there is a need for monitoring tools to verify if Internet service providers (among other actors) comply with the existing rules. Among the very few maintained tools, Wehe has been developed by Northeastern University and has been publicized by the French regulator, ARCEP. The tool runs traces and produces a positive or negative response about service differentiation, but users have to trust that result without any visual perception of the degradation. Our goal in this paper is to describe a demonstrator of Wehe for video streaming, from which we can simultaneously see a baseline video and its manually-differentiated counterpart, as well as run Wehe to evaluate its response with respect to the perceived quality degradation. The demonstrator allows to study the efficiency of Wehe in order to propose potential improvements, if needed.
