NLANR PMA: Special Traces Archive

In addition to our PMA Daily Traces Archive, we have data from a number of special traces. These include a variety of OC48 trace data and long, contiguous traces. In addition to regularly formatted data, many traces have illustrated archives (analysis graphs).

This page has the data sets grouped for comparative studies. As such, it is only a subset of the total Special Traces we have available.
You can view the entire Special Traces Index in chronological order or alphabetical order.

Data Sets Grouped for Comparative Studies

Multi-day Traces	Auckland-IV	A 45 days continuous trace collected at the University of Auckland Internet access link between February and April 2001.
	Auckland-VI	A three-point measurement at the University of Auckland.
	Auckland-VIII	A two weeks continuous GPS-synchronized IP header trace collected at the University of Auckland Internet access link in December 2003.
	Leipzig-I	An illustrated continuous 5-day GPS-synchronized IP header trace.
	NZIX-II	A 5 days IP header trace collected at the New Zealand Internet Exchange.
	Tera-I	First public 10GigE traces, collected with an NLANR PMA OC192MON located on SDSC's TeraGrid Cluster, began Sunday 8th of February 2004.

Multi-point, Synchronized Traces	Abilene-I	First public OC48c backbone trace. Two hours contiguous at two OC48c links at IPLS router node, time synchronized via CDMA. Router delay analysis possible.
	Auckland-VI	A three-point measurement at the University of Auckland.
	Leipzig-II	An illustrated 1-day GPS-synchronized IP header trace captured simultaneously at either side of the University of Leipzig's central Internet access router.

Gigabit Access Traces	CESCA-I	A three hours continuous GPS-synchronized IP header trace collected at L'Anella Científica, the Catalan R&D network, in February 2004.
	Leipzig-I	An illustrated continuous 5-day GPS-synchronized IP header trace.
	NCAR-I	A one hour trace from our new NCAR Gigabit tap (at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder).
	San Diego-I	A twelve (originally 30) hours IP header trace captured with an Endace DAG4.2GE dual Gigabit Ethernet network measurement card, at the end of January 2004.

Backbone Traces	Abilene-I	First public OC48c backbone trace. Two hours contiguous at two OC48c links at IPLS router node, time synchronized via CDMA. Router delay analysis possible.
Backbone Traces	Abilene-II	Stratified random sampling 8 times per day 5 minutes, at IPLS-CLEV and IPLS-KSCY OC48c backbone links of the Abilene network.

10GigE Traces	Tera-I	First public 10GigE traces, collected with an NLANR PMA OC192MON located on SDSC's TeraGrid Cluster, began Sunday 8th of February 2004.
