A heterogeneous webserver such as an HTTP server should be able to currently deal with numerous users. To the end, it is inevitable to formally analyze web traffics as well as a webserver itself. In particular, as most systems adopt HTTP 1.1 protocol instead of HTTP 1.0 protocol, it is more difficult to represent the system as a simple analytic mode. In addition, since most of previous models missed the detailed processes of the server, it is unsuitable for the current server based on HTTP 1.1 to tune itself with its own system parameters. On the basis of HTTP 1.1 Protocol supporting persistent connections, we thus present an analytical end-to-end tandem queueing model considering specific hardware configurations inside the webserver, which ultimately covers from accepting the customer requests to completing the services.

CoAP은 IoT(Internet of Things, 사물인터넷)를 위해 설계된 HTTP 메카니즘을 기반의 응용 계층 프로토콜로 M2M 통신을 위해 만들어 졌다. 이로 인해 WSN과 같은 제한적인 환경에서의 전송과 프로세싱을 효율적으로 처리 할 수 있고, CoAP과 HTTP사이의 맵핑 또한 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 HTTP 클라이언트가 CoAP 서버 혹은 CoAP 클라이언트가 HTTP 서버에게 직접적인 연결을 제공하는 방안을 제시한다. 또한, 전력 수급에 제한이 있어 데이터 전송률을 최소화 할 필요가 있기 때문에 캐싱을 사용한다. 제안하는 방안의 성능을 수학적 모델링을 통해 평가, 분석한다.

현재 사용하고 있는 HTTP/1.0은 각각의 트랜잭션마다 별개의 TCP 연결 설정을 해야함으로서 야기되는 잦은 RTT지연과 Slow Start로 인해 성능상의 문제점을 야기하고 있다. IETF의 HTTP-NG은 이런 문제점을 포함하여 다각적인 요구를 수용할 수 있도록 HTTP/1.1(RFC 2616)을 발표하였다. HTTP/1.1은 이 문제점을 지속적인 연결(Persistent Connection) 개념을 도입하여 개선하고 있다. 그러나, 연결 해제 시점을 명확하게 정의하고 있지 않기 때문에 이로 인해 서버의 자원 낭비를 줄이는 효율적인 연결 관리 방법을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 하나의 TCP 연결 위에 다중의 요구들을 실행할 수 있는 HTTP/1.1의 지속적인 연결 개념에, 클라이언트 측에서 적절한 TCP 연결 해제 시점을 지원하여 서버 자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Internet traffic volume has been increasing rapidly due to popularization of various smart devices and Internet development. In particular, HTTP-based traffic volume of smart devices is increasing rapidly in addition to desktop traffic volume. The increased mobile traffic can cause serious problems such as network overload, web security, and QoS. In order to solve these problems of the Internet overload and security, it is necessary to accurately detect applications. Traditionally, well-known port based method is utilized in traffic classification. However, this method shows low accuracy since P2P applications exploit a TCP/80 port, which is used for the HTTP protocol; to avoid firewall or IDS. Signature-based method is proposed to solve the lower accuracy problem. This method shows higher analysis rate but it has overhead of signature generation. Also, previous signature-based study only analyzes applications in HTTP protocol-level not application-level. That is, it is difficult to identify application name. Therefore, previous study only performs protocol-level analysis. In this paper, we propose a signature generation method to classify HTTP-based traffics in application-level using the characteristics of typical semi HTTP header. By applying our proposed method to campus network traffic, we validate feasibility of our method.

Web 환경이 급격히 변화함에 따라 HTTP 프로토콜의 변화도 요구되었다. 이를 보완하기 위한 비동기 메커니즘, Ajax 등이 제시되었고 최근 사물인터넷, 클라우드 등을 활용한 웹 어플리케이션이 주목 받고 있다. 이러한 패러다임의 변화로 웹은 여러 가지 기능이 필요하게 되었으며 HTTP/1의 단점을 보완한 HTTP/2가 개발되었다. HTTP/2는 웹 어플리케이션 및 Hypertext page 변화를 위해 복합적인 기능들이 추가 되었으나 이러한 추가적인 요소에 대해 또 다른 보안 취약점이 나타났다. 웹 어플리케이션은 사용자의 서비스에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 보안 위협 및 그 피해가 매우 치명적일 수 밖에 없다. 따라서 이러한 보안 취약점에 대한 보안 대책이 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 HTTP/2의 주요 취약점에 대해 분석하고 네 가지 보안 위협에 대해 기술하여 앞으로의 HTTP/2에서의 웹 보안 대책 및 연구에 기여하고자 한다.

Because of the explosive growth of mobile devices and development of network technologies, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) adaptive streaming has become a new trend in video delivery to provide efficient multimedia streaming services. As interest in personalized broadcasting grows, the study of interactive multimedia has been actively pursued. The interactive multimedia service is a method of playing media according to a scenario selected by the user. Providing the interactive multimedia service with the existing HTTP adaptive streaming causes switching delay and buffer underflow according to the point in time when the user selects the scenario while the client streams the interactive multimedia and therefore decreases the user QoE (Quality of Experience). In this paper, we propose an adaptive streaming scheme for interactive multimedia service in HTTP adaptive streaming to provide seamless playback. We design the architecture and prefetching scheme for interactive multimedia streaming.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) Adaptive Streaming is gaining attention because it changes bitrates to adapt changing network conditions. Since HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming) client downloads the video data based on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), it estimates incorrectly the available bandwidth and leads to an unnecessary video quality change in long-delay networks. In this paper, we propose a buffer-based quality control scheme in order to improve the service quality and smooth playback in the HAS. The proposed scheme estimates accurately the available bandwidth based on a modified streaming model that considers network delay. It also calculates the sustainability of the video quality to prevent an unnecessary quality change and determines the inter-request time on the basis of the buffer status. Through the simulation, we prove that our scheme improves the QoS (Quality of Service) of the HAS service and controls the video quality smoothly in long-delay networks.

Hyper text transfer protocol (HTTP) over transmission control protocol (TCP) is currently used to transfer objects in the Internet. Stream control transmission protocol (SCTP), an alternative to TCP, which allows for independent delivery among streams, and can thus reduce the mean response delay of web object. We present an analytical model to find the mean response delay for HTTP over SCTP, therefore, estimate the effectiveness of SCTP over TCP. Typical TCP delay models assume the wired environment. On the contrary, the proposed model in this paper assumes the multiple packet losses and wireless environment where fast retransmission is not possible due to small window. The estimated mean response time can be used the benchmark to meet quality of service (QoS) at end-user. We validate the accuracy of our model using experiments. It is shown that the differences between the results from model and those from experimental are very small below 6 % on average. We also find that the mean response delay for HTTP over SCTP is less than that for HTTP over TCP.

The IETF has recently been standardizing the QUIC protocol for HTTP/3 services. It is noted that HTTP/3 uses QUIC as the underlying protocol, whereas HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 are based on TCP. Differently from TCP, the QUIC uses 0-RTT or 1-RTT transmissions to reduce the connection establishment delays of TCP and SCTP. Moreover, to solve the head-of-line blocking problem, QUIC uses the multi-streaming feature. In addition, QUIC provides various features, including the connection migration, and it is available at the Chrome browser. In this paper, we analyze the performance of QUIC for HTTP-based web and streaming services by comparing with the existing TCP and Streaming Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) in the network environments with different link delays and packet error rates. From the experimental results, we can see that QUIC provides better throughputs than TCP and SCTP, and the gaps of performances get larger, as the link delays and packet error rates increase.

HTTP 프로토콜은 WWW에서 HTML(HyperText Markup Language)문서를 송수신하기 위해 사용하고 있는 애플리케이션 프로토콜로서 TCP를 수송계층 프로토콜로 이용하여 이루어지는 애플리케이션 계층 프로토콜 가운데 하나이다[12]. HTTP/1.0은 동일한 서버로부터 각각의 개체에 대하여 개별적인 TCP연결은 생성하기 때문에 다중의 요구를 비효율적으로 처리한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 제안된 HTTP/1.1은 TCP연결을 지속적인 연결(Persistent connection)이라는 개념을 도입하여 하나의 TCP 연결 상에서 다중의 요구(Request)를 처리하도록 하고 있다[9]. 네트워크가 발전됨에 따라 사용자가 늘어나고 다양해지면서 서비스의 차별화 문제가 중요한 문제로 대두되었다.[3.5] 본논문에서 제시하는 Diff-HTTP은 웹 서버에 서비스를 요청한 클라이언트들에게 차별화 된 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 사용자를 두 등급 기본등급과 우선 순위를 고려한 상위 등급으로 구분한다. 각 등급은 제한시간으로 차별화되고 상위 등급에 속한 클라이언트에게 제한된 시간을 증가 시켜 지연을 최소로 함으로써 고품질의 서비스를 제공하는 방안을 제시한다.
