The Macroscopic Behavior of Internet Traffic: a Comparative Study
Steve Uhlig · 2007
This paper analyzes two one week long traces of all the interdomain traffic of two very different ISPs. The analysis correlates the received traffic with the BGP routing table of the studied ISPs. We first analyze the topological distribution of the traffic throughout the Internet. Then, we analyze the variability of the interdomain flows by considering their activity and the variability of their traffic in volume.
