What is CAIDA?
CAIDA stands for Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis. It’s a collaborative undertaking among organizations with a strong interest in keeping primary Internet capacity and usage efficiency in line with ever-increasing demand. Participants come from the commercial, government, and research sectors. CAIDA’s members use this organization as a focal point for promoting greater cooperation in the engineering and maintenance of a robust, scalable global Internet infrastructure. CAIDA provides the world with a neutral framework to support cooperative technical endeavors that have the potential to be critical in meeting the demands of an exponentially growing system of networks. CAIDA’s home is at the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC), an extension of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) where it was created in 1997 by Dr. kc Claffy and Tracie Monk.
