A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR NETWORK LAYER BASED USER MODELING

The rising expansion of Internet and its great influence on various aspects of our life especially the changes it made in the way we trade, made using users’ information for performance improvement an ordinary task. Currently almost all the user modeling frameworks catch the necessary information from the application layer, thus just the information providers could use them. Thus they have no use for the in-between nodes which access the data stream in network layer. In this paper we propose a new framework which can be used for modeling the users by network layer information. This framework can help the inbetween nodes to arrange their service policies based on different user models. Also we have presented a case study which models an ordinary ISP’s users and shows how the model can be used to improve the ISP’s quality of service
