ABSTRACT

In this joint talk we give a overview of ongoing research related to
collecting and analyzing Internet measurements at various levels of the
protocol stack.  The first part of the talk focuses on how to support
traffic engineering by constructing a network-wide view of topology,
configuration, and routing data for a large IP backbone.  The second
part of the talk will discuss how data gathered at various levels have
been used to explore specific protocols.  The focus will be on a novel
way to use Netflow data to characterize DNS traffic.

Bala and Jennifer will talk for approximately 30 minutes each. Both of 
them are researchers at ATT Labs-Research and recently co-authored
   Web Protocols and Practice: HTTP/1.1, Networking Protocols, 
   Caching, and Traffic Measurement
