Re: Game consoles & streaming devices driving video growth Help me understand Sandvines logic here?
ipad+iphone+ipod(touch) ARE in fact iOS Devices
per the spreadsheet ipad+iphone+ipod(touch)=1.67%
yet iOS Device = .16? Do they mean "OTHER iOS devices?"
Confused. |

Confused.
The report doesn't say. But I suspect that they couldn't tell which iOS device it was in some cases and so they just put it under a generic iOS category.
There are separate specific apps for Netflix for iPhones and iPads, but you can put the iPhone Netflix app on an iPad(but not vice versa). Maybe that caused some of the confusion.

Sandvine boxes read the header of a packet and a little bit more to determine exactly what the packet is.
It is likely that Sandvine could not determine what kidn of iOS device it was because Sandvine had never seen it before. They must write a "driver" for each kind of device for their box to be able to automatically determine what it is by the signature of the packet. They certainly aren't going to determine what every device is by hand.
Since this data is recent, it could be iPad2 that is just listed as "iOS device" because the signature of the packet wasn't yet recognized by Sandvine. Or it could be beta testers of iOS devices since the amount is so small. Or it could be jailbroken iOS devices that aren't reporting the correct data for the version of iOS they are running. |
