As a part of CAIDA's mission to promote cooperative macroscopic measurement and analysis of Internet traffic and performance, collection of data for scientific analysis of network function is one of CAIDA's core objectives. CAIDA collects several different data types at geographically and topologically diverse locations, and makes this data available to the research community to the extent possible while preserving the privacy of individuals and organizations who donate data or network access. For questions about CAIDA data, contact data-info@caida.org.

CAIDA maintains a list of non-CAIDA publications using CAIDA data.

CAIDA Data by Research Topic

TopologyAssociated Data

Data tailored to studying the interconnections between devices that compose the Internet. CAIDA's Macroscopic Topology Project runs the team-probing experiment on our Archipelago infrastructure using the scamper tool to generate data for topology datasets. Before February 2008 CAIDA used the skitter tool as basis for topology datasets. The ITDK data kits combine raw skitter topology data with routing tables, router interface data, and contemporaneous IP address hostname lookups. Additional datasets derived from RouteViews include a listing of relationships between Autonomous Systems and an AS taxonomy.

SecurityAssociated Data

In keeping with the global scope of its mission, CAIDA collects data on security events that are widely visible on the Internet, including the backscatter from denial-of-service attacks and the spread of Internet worms.

Traffic CharacteristicsAssociated Data

Data tailored to measuring the traffic flow on the Internet, including analysis of traffic trends, popular applications, malicious activity, and protocol interations. CAIDA houses trace data collected on backbone and major peering links, as well as traces containing information on Domain Name Service (DNS) requests and responses, including public name requests for private address space.

RoutingAssociated Data

Data useful for studying routing behavior on the Internet, including routing table archives and a data kit combining routing information with probed topology data.

Realtime MonitorsAssociated Data

CAIDA operates realtime monitors of network traffic at several locations. Displays are generally updated within 15 minutes of collection.

PerformanceAssociated Data

Data useful for evaluating the performance of various aspects of network functioning, including Domain Name Service, IP address space allocation, and core network delay measurements.
