This paper assesses QoE for a Web service (WebQoE) for the TCP multi-pathization method by SDN by experiments with subjects. The multi-pathization method is one of the QoS controls for IoT networks; it can multi-pathize a TCP connection without any changes of terminals or protocols. The previous work of the authors has evaluated QoS of Web services but has not assessed QoE. This paper assesses QoE of an online map service for the multi-pathization method by experiments with subjects. In the experiment, the authors treat various environments which differs in the amount of load traffic. The obtained results show that WebQoE for the multi-pathization method is always higher than that without the method. Consequently, the paper confirms that the multi-pathization is effective from point of users’ view.
