The impact of network performance on user experience is important to know, as it determines the success or failure of a service. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to assess it in real-time on an operational network. Monitoring of network-level performance criteria is easier and more usual. But the problem is then to correlate these network-level Quality of Service (QoS) to the Quality of Experience (QoE) perceived by the users. Efforts have been done in the previous years to map user behaviour to traffic characteristics on the network to QoS. However, being able to successfully relate these traffic characteristics to user satisfaction is not a simple task and still requires further investigations. In this work, we try to associate on one side the correlations between various traffic characteristics measured on an operational network and on the other side the user experience tested on an experimental platform. Our aim is to observe some pronounced trends regarding relationships between both types of results. More precisely, we want to validate how and to what extent the volumes of user sessions represent the level of user satisfaction. Along this way, we need to revise classical relationships between some of the network performance indicators such as loss, download time and throughput in order to strengthen the understanding of this impact on each other and on user satisfaction. This preliminary study is based on the application web.
