Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P1)

Description

[Gary Chen [:xeonchen]]

In bug 1533363 we introduced traffic categories, however, some names and actual categories are inconsistent. We decided to change the names to match the actual categories, which is: swap List Category I & II.

The new table is listed below.

Data Types

Class of Service

Flags	Load Type
nsIClassOfService::Leader	A
w/o nsIRequest::LOAD_BACKGROUND	B
w/ nsIRequest::LOAD_BACKGROUND	C

Tracking Category

Category	List Category
Analytics/Advertising/Social	I
Content	II
Fingerprinting	III

Telemetry Targets

There are 22 values, denoted by Y for both normal/private browsing mode.

Normal Mode

Y = 0 for first party
Y = 1 for non-listed third party type

Y	Type A	Type B	Type C
Category I	2	3	4
Category II	5	6	7
Category III	8	9	10

Private Mode

Y = 11 for first party
Y = 12 for non-listed third party type

Y	Type A	Type B	Type C
Category I	13	14	15
Category II	16	17	18
Category III	19	20	21

Besides, during the probing period, there's no Y=[1,12] detected, which is impossible and should be fixed as soon as possible.

It'll be clearer to track this issue in another bug.

The same data is being collected, just organized a different way, so the previous data collection review from bug 1533363 still holds.
