  6. Internet • Web of interconnected networks • Grows with no central authority • Autonomous Systems optimize local communication efficiency • The building blocks are engineered and studied in depth • Global entity has not been characterized

  7. Internet Measurements • Need for Internet measurements arises due to commercial, social, and technical issues • Realistic simulation environment for developed products, • Improve network management • Robustness with respect to failures/attacks • Comprehend spreading of worms/viruses • Know social trends in Internet use • Scientific discovery • Scale-free (power-law), Small-world, Rich-club, Dissasortativity,…

  12. Autonomous System Level Mapping

  13. Traffic Measurements • Monitoring and measuring network traffic • to produce better models of network behavior • to diagnose failures and detect anomalies • to defend against unwanted traffic • PlanetLab

  14. Code-Red Worm • On July 19, 2001, more than 359,000 computers connected to the Internet were infected with the Code-Red (CRv2) worm in less than 14 hours • Spread

  15. Sapphire Worm • was the fastest computer worm in history • doubled in size every 8.5 seconds • infected more than 90 percent of vulnerable hosts within 10 minutes.

  16. Witty Worm • reached its peak activity after approximately 45 minutes • at which point the majority of vulnerable hosts had been infected • World • USA

  17. Nyxem Email Virus • Estimate of total number of infected computers is between 470K and 945K • At least 45K of the infected computers were also compromised by other forms of spyware or botware • Spread

  18. Scam Hosting • Study dynamics of scam hosting infrastructure

  19. Internet Measurements • The Internet is man-made, so why do we need to measure it? • Because we still don’t really understand it • Sometimes things go wrong • Malicious users • Measurement for network operations • Detecting and diagnosing problems • What-if analysis of future changes • Measurement for scientific discovery • Creating accurate models that represent reality • Identifying new features and phenomena
