HPWREN Continuous IP Header Trace Data |
|
|||
The HPWREN team is creating, demonstrating, and evaluating a non-commercial, prototype, high-performance, wide-area, wireless network in San Diego and Riverside counties. The NSF-funded network includes backbone nodes on the UC San Diego and San Diego State University campuses, and a number of "hard to reach" areas in remote environments. Not only is HPWREN used for network analysis research, but the network also provides high-speed Internet access to field researchers from several disciplines (geophysics, astronomy, ecology) and educational opportunities for rural Native American learning centers and schools. The IP header trace data available here is collected as a 24x7 continuous data set aggregated daily, in TSH (time sequenced header) format. A set of tools is available here. HPWREN uses a dedicated 24x7 monitor to assess the data exchange between the HPWREN network and the Internet on a machine called ittrack (Internet Traffic TRACKing). The present IP header collection system monitors the HPWREN site of the NAT router at SDSC, which connects the two 45 MBits/second backbone links towards Mount Woodson and Mount Soledad. The details of the data collection setup are provided here. The HPWREN project runs a variety of analyses on the data. For publication at this server the IP header trace is further anonymized and gzip compressed. Data is available at the following locations: AcknowledgementsThe HPWREN program is based on work sponsored by the National Science Foundation under Grant Numbers 0087344 and 0426879.
