How is CAIDA data/analysis disseminated to researchers and to the general public?
CAIDA tools are intended to be made publicly available. Availability of beta versions of some tools, however, may be limited to participating organizations. Traffic data collected from public sources (or from active measurements) will be made available to researchers and others through the CAIDA web pages. Data derived from private sources, however, will remain the property of those organizations; only the cognizant network or vendor can make confidential data available to third parties. Summaries of CAIDA research and analyses will be made available on the web and through presentations and publications. More detailed reports may be made available to participating organizations. If working groups are established under CAIDA, i.e. a metrics working group or an engineering working group, then the members of those working groups will determine what materials may be shared with third parties.
