• Internet traffic measurements and traffic characterization are essential for managing and optimizing network infrastructures. The increasing number of wireless Internet users and the changing application demands require consecutive traffic measurements. Therefore, we have performed measurements of home users at a broadband wireless access service provider in order to reflect the current traffic characteristics. In this paper, we present the results of these measurements like application distributions as well as changing traffic characteristics caused by user demands and new services. The results could be used by a network service provider to optimize its network performance in order to give quality of service (QoS) guarantees for home users in its fixed wireless network.
