Sampling has become an integral part of passive network measurement. This role is driven
by the need to control the consumption of resources in the measurement infrastructure under …

The World Wide Web can be considered as a large distributed information system that
provides access to shared data objects. As one of the most popular applications currently …

While residential broadband Internet access is popular in many parts of the world, only a few
studies have examined the characteristics of such traffic. In this paper we describe …

While algorithms for cooperative proxy caching have been widely studied, little is
understood about cooperative-caching performance in the large-scale World Wide Web …

Originally developed to connect processors and memories in multicomputers, prior research
and design of interconnection networks have focused largely on performance. As these …

Web caching technology has been widely used to improve the performance of the Web
infrastructure and reduce user-perceived network latencies. Proxy caching is a major Web …

We present a technique for identifying repetitive information transfers and use it to analyze
the redundancy of network traffic. Our insight is that dynamic content, streaming media and …

The continued growth of the World-Wide Web and the emergence of new end-user
technologies such as cable modems necessitate the use of proxy caches to reduce latency …

Passive traffic measurement increasingly employs sampling at the packet level. Many high-
end routers form flow statistics from a sampled substream of packets. Sampling is necessary …

Using the ns-2-simulator to experiment with different aspects of user-or session-behaviors
and network configurations and focusing on the qualitative aspects of a wavelet-based …
