How does CAIDA collect and take stewardship over traffic data?
CAIDA’s traffic data comes from five sources: • data directly collected from some participating exchange points and networks – these data are proprietary and are not shared • data provided under NDA or under provisions of confidentiality – these data are proprietary and are not shared • passive measurement data collected from High Performance Connection universities and FIX-West by the NLANR project – these data are publicly available at http://moat.nlanr.net/Traces/ • routing data from the University of Oregon’s Route Views project (see: http://www.antc.uoregon.edu/route-views) and other routing projects, e.g., Merit’s IPMA (see: http://www.merit.edu/ipma/) • active measurement data associated with skitter – Summary graphs and analysis are publicly available at http://sk-summary.caida.org/cgi-bin/main.pl. Raw skitter data files will be made available under AUP agreement to interested researchers at a future point.
