Internet Measurements
As our social, economic, and civil activity is moving online,
we heavily rely on the Internet. However, despite the critical role of
the Internet, our ability to answer simple questions regarding the
state, resilience, and performance of the Internet is rather limited.
For example, it is challenging to estimate how many devices are
connected online, how networks interconnect and exchange traffic, how
secure are our communication over the Internet, how private are our
website visits, and how good is the performance of services and
applications that run on top of the Internet. In this course, we will
discuss principles and empirical (data-driven) methods to measure the
Internet towards answering all the above questions.
Topics
of the course include:
- Inference of the Internet topologies (logical, router, physical) with active and passive measurements
- Measurement of Internet infrastructures: Internet Service Providers, Internet Exchange Points, and Content Delivery Networks
- Network flow and traffic measurements
- Traffic modeling and characterization
- Network performance measurement
- Web measurement
- IP geo-location
- Special topics on measuring Internet security and privacy
