无线家庭网络越来越多地部署在全球人的家中。不幸的是，家庭网络使用为骨干网和企业网络设计的协议发展，它们的规模和特征与家庭网络截然不同。我们认为，这种演变是用户管理和使用其家庭网络经历的广泛观察到的问题的核心。在本文中，我们调查了房屋路由器的重新设计，以利用房屋的独特社会和物理特征。我们从一系列人种学研究中提取了两个关键要求：用户希望对其网络行为有更深入的了解和控制。我们介绍了一个专注于监视和控制网络流量的家庭路由器的设计，因此为构建满足这两个用户需求的用户界面提供了一个平台。我们描述和评估使用NOX和OpenFlow来提供全流量控制的原型，以及自定义DHCP实现，以实现IP层的流量隔离和准确的测量。它还通过拦截无线关联和DNS分辨率来提供更细粒度的每流控制。我们评估了这些修改的影响，从而评估了基于流的网络管理在家庭中的适用性。
Wireless home networks are increasingly deployed in people's homes worldwide. Unfortunately, home networks have evolved using protocols designed for backbone and enterprise networks, which are quite different in scale and character to home networks. We believe this evolution is at the heart of widely observed problems experienced by users managing and using their home networks. In this paper we investigate redesign of the home router to exploit the distinct social and physical characteristics of the home. We extract two key requirements from a range of ethnographic studies: users desire greater understanding of and control over their networks' behaviour. We present our design for a home router that focuses on monitoring and controlling network traffic flows, and so provides a platform for building user interfaces that satisfy these two user requirements. We describe and evaluate our prototype which uses NOX and OpenFlow to provide per-flow control, and a custom DHCP implementation to enable traffic isolation and accurate measurement from the IP layer. It also provides finer-grained per-flow control through interception of wireless association and DNS resolution. We evaluate the impact of these modifications, and thus the applicability of flow-based network management in the home.
