The rapid evolution in networking technologies continually raises legal
and ethical questions. CAIDA seeks to make transparent our role, goals,
and specific data collection, use and disclosure activities. Below is a
list of the various policies and agreements that govern our
relationships with entities that host our data collection
infrastructure, access and use our data and resources, or are otherwise
relevant to our network measurement and data stewardship activities.
