Measurement Infrastructure Survey
- Public Measurement Infrastructure
- "Measuring the Immeasurable: Global Internet Measurement Infrastructure" PAM2001
- NIST site for XIWT/IPWT data
Measurement Data Users
| PI Survey Responses | Dataset Used | Research Problem Addressed | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| M. Faloutsos & C. Faloutsos, UC Riverside | NLANR/UOregon BGP tables with traceroutes and pings | Interdomain topology modeling and evolution. and end-to-end delay behavior (routing bottlenecks) | completeness of data? need one-way delays and capacities (will check Surveyor) |
| Don Towsley, UMass | BGP tables | peering relationships | need topology generation |
| Walter Willinger, AT&T Labs | NLANR/UOregon BGP tables | Check model assumptions | mechanism not consistent with data |
| Don Towsley, UMass | Auckland WITS | TCP load; end2end loss | need ability to multicast scheduled measurements |
| Rolf Riedi, Rice | Auckland WITS | TCP load, multiplexing, correlation between traffic streams | need recent traces; multiscale statistics; traffic components; need more info on location of sources |
| Raghu Kacker, NIST | IEPM, XIWT PingER data | ||
| Bruce Siegell, Telcordia | Surveyor delay and traceroute | accurate one-way delay measurement needed for Felix project (ended Aug 2000) | too many routing changes; inconvenient tools; NDA required; need better tools |
| Nagi Rao, ORNL | homegrown | end2end delay for improving RTT by re-routing | only few daemons; use forced routing to send traffic through them. |
