Internet Measurement Data Catalog

This dataset contains passive traffic traces from CAIDA passive monitors in 2008.

We expect this dataset to contain monthly traces from CAIDA passive monitors if and when these are put into production.

We are aware that some data in this dataset contains more then trivial amounts of packet loss; this has especially been an issue for equinix-chicago direction B. Due to the way the monitoring equipment is set up the synchronization between directions we don't know how well-aligned both directions of a single link are. We plan to provide more metadata on synchronization between directions and packet loss in the traces.

Anyone who publishes a document (including web pages and papers) that uses data from this dataset must provide CAIDA with a copy of the publication and must cite:
