Abstract

The supernormal growth of QQ has outdistanced all the expectations and the number of users has reached up to 780 million till the end of 2012. At the same time, QQ causes several intractable issues, such as generating huge traffic, especially for the great video traffic. However, owing to proprietary protocol and encrypted traffic, the QQ video mechanism is little to be known and very hard to be identified. In this paper, we reveal the QQ video mechanism and its protocol structure, and introduce its communication process in details. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to discover the QQ video mechanism. This will be very useful for optimizing network bandwidth and improving quality of service.
