HTTP Traffic Traces from Edge-Cloud Video Streaming Demonstrations

HTTP request and response traces were generated during video streaming sessions for the CODECO Media Delivery Service. The dataset contains network captures from a central CDN node in Greece and an edge cache in Madrid, representing real traffic from distributed edge-cloud infrastructure.

Use Cases

• Analyze network timing and performance metrics to evaluate edge caching efficiency for media segment requests.
• Model content delivery behavior by correlating HTTP status codes and request URLs from central and edge nodes.
• Study streaming manifest file requests to assess Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring for video delivery.

Strengths

• Contains real HTTP traffic observed during actual streaming playback sessions.
• Traces originate from a specific experimental setup with a central CDN in Greece and an edge cache in Madrid.
• Data was processed from HAR files into a flattened CSV format for analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset scale is tiny at 0.0 B, indicating very limited scope and sample size.
• Specific row count, column count, and file details are unknown, limiting analytical planning.
