This paper introduces a methodology for estimating interdomain Web traffic lows between all clients worldwide and the ervers belonging to over one housand content providers. The idea is to use the server logs from a large ontent Delivery Network (CDN) to identify client downloads of content provider (i.e., publisher) Web pages. For each of these Web pages, a client typically downloads some objects from the content provider, some from the CDN, and perhaps some from third parties such as banner advertisement agencies. The sizes and sources of the non-CDN downloads associated with each CDN download are estimated separately by examining Web accesses in packet traces collected at several universities.
