Features of Applications for Measuring Smartphone Generated Data Traffic

End-user devices have the ability of accessing data networks and thereby generate data traffic. The amount of generated data traffic depends on many factors, including features of the device and the services it uses. Data access network is also one of the key determining factors of the amount of generated data traffic. In this paper, authors compared the amount of generated data traffic resulting from reproducing the same media content using a YouTube application during equal time frames. Three different applications were used to measure data traffic volume: GlassWire, My Data Manager, and 3G Watchdog. The measurements were performed via Wi-Fi and through mobile communication network. The results were compared in terms of how the amount of generated data traffic was displayed on each of the applications.
