Abilene-III Trace Data - Illustrated

This four hour data set is the first publicly available 10 Gigabit Internet backbone packet header trace.

It was collected on June 1st, 2004 at the OC192c Packet-over-SONET link from Internet2's Indianapolis (IPLS) Abilene router node towards Kansas City (KSCY). The OC192MON hardware used in this data collection deployed precision timestamping and global CDMA/GPS time synchronization. For further details on the instrumentation please refer to this installation page.
