Resumé:
Residential access networks, such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable and fiber to the home are seeing steady deployment. Despite this increasing penetration, very little is known about the actual performance of broadband access networks and whether users are getting what they pay for. Government agencies now want to regulate broadband access. However, the technology to monitor these networks efficiently and at large scale is not yet available.
The goal of this thesis is to design a monitoring system that can serve government agencies to regulate residential Internet access and users to verify whether Internet providers respect the performance promised in contracts. Developing a performance monitoring system for these purposes brings new challenges. First, opportunistic providers may try to influence measurements to make their performance look better. Second, users may trick the system to get compensation from their providers. Hence, we need to develop a monitoring system that is trustable, i.e., a system that can reliably monitor performance and assign responsibility for performance degradation.
