| Topology | Associated Data |
|
Data tailored to studying the interconnections
between devices that compose the Internet.
CAIDA's Macroscopic Topology
Project, powered by the skitter tool,
provides these data sets, including a data kit
combining this probed 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.

|
| Security | Associated 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 Characteristics | Associated 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.

|
| Routing | Associated 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 Monitors | Associated Data |
|
CAIDA operates realtime monitors of network traffic at
several locations. Displays are generally updated within
15 minutes of collection.
|
|
| Performance | Associated 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.
