A recently completed single-site study has yielded information about how Internet traffic will evolve, as new users discover the Internet and existing users find new ways to incorporate the Internet into their work patterns. The author reviews existing statistics and studies of network growth, which show that network traffic generally grows exponentially with time, at least until the network carrying capacity is reached. He then describes how he captured and reduced the data used in this study. The following points are also addressed: the overall growth in the site's wide-area traffic; the appearance of periodic traffic; the growth in network use by individual computers or users; and the changing geographic profile of the traffic. The implications and limitations of the results are also summarizes. >read more

Wide area traffic: the failure of Poisson modeling
Vern Paxson,Sally Floyd +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that user-initiated TCP session arrivals, such as remote-login and file-transfer, are well-modeled as Poisson processes with fixed hourly rates, but that other connection arrivals deviate considerably from Poisson.

Self-similarity through high-variability: statistical analysis of Ethernet LAN traffic at the source level
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a plausible physical explanation for the occurrence of self-similarity in local-area network (LAN) traffic, based on convergence results for processes that exhibit high variability and is supported by detailed statistical analyzes of real-time traffic measurements from Ethernet LANs at the level of individual sources.

How to Own the Internet in Your Spare Time
TL;DR: This work develops and evaluates several new, highly virulent possible techniques: hit-list scanning, permutation scanning, self-coordinating scanning, and use of Internet-sized hit-lists (which creates a flash worm).

Wide-area Internet traffic patterns and characteristics
TL;DR: Observations on the patterns and characteristics of wide-area Internet traffic, as recorded by MCI's OC-3 traffic monitors are presented, revealing the characteristics of the traffic in terms of packet sizes, flow duration, volume, and percentage composition by protocol and application.

Self-similarity through high-variability: statistical analysis of ethernet LAN traffic at the source level
TL;DR: This paper provides a plausible physical explanation for the occurrence of self-similarity in high-speed network traffic based on convergence results for processes that exhibit high variability and is supported by detailed statistical analyses of real-time traffic measurements from Ethernet LAN's at the level of individual sources.

The BSD packet filter: a new architecture for user-level packet capture
Steven McCanne,Van Jacobson +1 more
TL;DR: The BSD Packet Filter (BPF) uses a new, register-based filter evaluator that is up to 20 times faster than the original design, and uses a straighforward buffering strategy that makes its overall performance up to 100 times better than Sun's NIT running on the same hardware.
