Description
Mobile broadband (MBB) networks have revolutionised the way we communicate, yet our understanding and means of troubleshooting such complex systems remain modest. In our research we develop RICERCANDO (Rapid Interpretation and Cross-Experiment Root-Cause Analysis in Network Data with Orange), a tool for integrative exploration, visualization and interpretation of MBB data and meta-data across multiple experiments. RICERCANDO supports human experts in the process of detecting and understanding the root-cause of the network problems and performance degradation.
Finally, we used our tools, including RICERCANDO, to uncover Net neutrality violations. We analyzed almost two years worth of distributed crowdsourced measurement data from Agency for communication networks and services of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS) and found examples of Net neutrality violation practices.
