Measuring Internet User Traffic Behavior Dependent on Access Speed

A variety of Internet traffic characterization and source models already exist. Since, the origin of the analyzed data differs a comparison of the reported traffic characteristics is difficult. In this paper, we analyze a single IP-packet trace and relate the trace data to the user access speed. This approach leads to some interesting insights showing whether and how the access speed influences...

Measuring Global Internet Filtering

In this chapter, we set out to provide an overview of the data regarding Internet filtering that the OpenNet Initiative 1 has gathered over the past year. Empirical testing for Internet blocking was carried out in forty countries in 2006. Of these forty countries, we found evidence of technical filtering in twenty-six (see table 1.1). This does not imply that only these countries filter the Int...

Measuring the Internet

A t the heart of the Internet’s unquestionable success is simplicity and flexibility that not only facilitates easy communication, but also fosters innovative applications. However, as innovation drives the Internet into everdeeper corners of our everyday lives, the technological ecosystem underlying our Internet use becomes increasingly complex. To continue the evolution of the Internet requir...

ANx—High-speed Internet access

Key techniques used in the ANx concept are ATM multiplexing, permanent virtual circuits (PVC), and a variety of modem techniques. These “off-the-shelf” techniques are combined with edge routers that provide IP routing, remote authentication, RADIUS and service-provider selection to create a high-speed Internet access solution. Because ANx is based on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), it can enh...
