Measurement and estimation of packet loss characteristics are challenging due to the
relatively rare occurrence and typically short duration of packet loss episodes. While active …

The past ten years have seen the discovery of a number of “power laws” in networking.
When applied to network trafic, these laws imply the following 80-20 rule: 80% of the work is …

One of the most pressing problems in network research is the lack of long-term trace data
from ISPs. The Internet carries an enormous volume and variety of data; mining this data can …

Emerging network monitoring infrastructures capture packet-level traces or keep per-flow
statistics at a set of distributed vantage points. Today, distributed monitors in such an …

As the Internet grows, it is becoming increasingly difficult to collect performance
measurements, to monitor its state, and to perform simulations efficiently. This is because the …

Internet traffic analysis as a research area has attracted lots of interest over the last decade.
The traffic data collected for analysis are usually stored in plain files and the analysis tools …

Measurement-based performance evaluation of network traffic is a fundamental prerequisite
for the provisioning of managed and controlled services in short timescales, as well as for …

Collecting network traffic is becoming a more challenging task in passive network
measurement due to the rapid growth of link speed. Flow-based network traffic capture and …

Denial of service (DoS) attacks cause significant financial damage every year, making it
essential to devise techniques to detect and respond to attacks quickly. Although many …
