Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 600 rows came out of a blueprint — 24 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Session ID linking subscriber MSISDN to content session
  • Content provider: Netflix, YouTube, local CDN, operator-managed cache
  • Video resolution: 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K with adaptive bitrate (ABR)
  • Data volume: cached (no backhaul cost) vs. delivered from origin
  • Cache hit ratio percentage and traffic offload from core network
  • Buffering events and rebuffering ratio (QoE degradation indicator)
  • Zero-rating: sponsored data by content provider, not charged to subscriber
  • Peak hours traffic management and throttling policies
