Abstract:
The Internet, while emerging as the key component for all sorts of communication, is far from well understood. However, updated knowledge of Internet traffic properties is important not only for scientific, but also for operational and legal purposes. The best way to acquire a better and more detailed understanding of the modern Internet is to collect and analyze real Internet traffic. However, packet-level data collection on large-scale network links is a non-trivial task. The first part of this talk therefore gives a summary of different design options and important considerations for traffic collection on Internet backbone links.  The second part of the talk deals with analysis of the collected traffic.  Specifically, the talk outlines methods and pitfalls regarding Internet traffic classification,
i.e. traffic decomposition with the goal to understand the type of traffic carried on the Internet. First, an overview of state of the art methods in traffic classification is given, showing that reliable
classification of Internet traffic based on network applications is still an open research issue due to technical challenges. Finally, additional challenges and shortcomings related to validation, reproducibility and underlying assumptions of current traffic classification efforts are identified.
