Lecture 14Internet Measurements
2
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
Most real world complex-networks have non-trivial properties.
Global properties can not be inferred from local ones• Engineered with large technical diversity
• Range from local campuses to transcontinental backbone providers
Internet
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,…

Probe packets are carefully constructed to elicit intended response from a probe destination
traceroute probes all nodes on a path towards a given destination• TTL-scoped probes obtain ICMP error messages from routers on the path
• ICMP messages includes the IP address of intermediate routers as its source
Merging end-to-end path traces yields the network map

Sampling to discover networks • Infer characteristics of the topology
Different studies considered • Effect of sample size [Barford 01]
• Sampling bias [Lakhina 03]
• Path accuracy [Augustin 06]
• Sampling approach [Gunes 07]
• Utilized protocol [Gunes 08]
• ICMP echo request
• TCP syn
• UDP port unreachable
Topology SamplingIssues
Anonymous Router Resolution Problem
Anonymous routers do not respond to traceroute probes and appear as a in path traces• Same router may appear as a in multiple traces.
• Anonymous nodes belonging to the same router should be resolved.
Anonymity Types1. Ignore all ICMP packets
2. ICMP rate-limiting
3. Ignore ICMP when congested
4. Filter ICMP at border
5. Private IP address

Each interface of a router
has an IP address. A router may respond with
different IP addresses to
different queries.
Alias Resolution is the process of grouping the interface IP addresses of each router into a single node.
Inaccuracies in alias resolution may result in a network map that• includes artificial links/nodes
• misses existing links

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

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
29
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.
30
Witty Worm reached its peak activity after approximately 45 minutes
• at which point the majority of vulnerable hosts had been infected
World USA
31
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

Measurement Studies Glasnost
• tests whether BitTorrent is being blocked or throttled
BW-meter• Measurement tools for the capacity and load of Internet paths
NPAD Diagnostics Servers• Automatic diagnostic server for troubleshooting end-systems
and last-mile network problems
iPlane• construct a router interface-level atlas of the Internet
• measuring link attributes
Hubble• find persistent Internet black holes as they occur

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
