CAIDA Anonymized Internet Traces Request Form


	Anonymized passive traffic traces are available for use by academic researchers and US government agencies. These datasets are also available for corporate entities (including corporate researchers) who participate in CAIDA's membership program. Information on membership levels, services, and rates is found on the CAIDA Sponsorship Information page, or by emailing sponsorship@caida.org. Please complete and submit the form below to request access to anonymized passive traffic trace data. It will take about one week (on average) to process your request. Upon approval you will receive an email with instructions on how to download the data you requested. If you have any questions or problems using this form, please contact data-info@caida.org.

Please read the terms of the following Acceptable Use policy: The anonymized traffic traces will not be distributed beyond authorized users. I will notify CAIDA of the names and email addresses of any persons (and their respective affiliations) assisting me in research using the oc48 data. This includes graduate students and interns. The IP addresses in these traces are all anonymized to preserve the privacy of end users (hosts) and networks monitored in the collection of the data. The anonymization is prefix-preserving; if the original IP addresses had N bits in common, the anonymized addresses will have those same N bits in common. The traces in a dataset are all anonymized with the same key, so one original IP address that appears in multiple traces in a dataset will appear as the same anonymized IP address across those traces. In so far as possible, privacy of end users (hosts) and networks monitored in the creation of these traces will be respected by the researchers. Researchers will make no attempts to reverse engineer, decrypt, or otherwise identify the original IP addresses collected in the trace. Researchers will also not attempt to extract unanonymized IP addresses from encapsulated headers. Researchers will make no attempts to connect to, probe, or in any other way initiate contact with a machine or machine administrator identified via the anonymized traffic traces. At the end of the research, or semi-annually (which ever is less), a summary of the research and any findings/conclusions will be reported to CAIDA. If any research is described on the WWW, a URL will be provided. This information is primarily used in reports to our funding agencies. All publications (including web pages and papers) using data from anonymized Internet traffic datasets must include a citation for each dataset. For example: The CAIDA Anonymized 2007 Internet Traces - Jan 16 2007, Colleen Shannon, Emile Aben, kc claffy, Dan Andersen, http://www.caida.org/data/passive/passive_2007_dataset.xml Users are encouraged, but not required, to include the following attribution in the acknowledgements section of their document: Support for CAIDA's Internet Traces is provided by the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Homeland Security, Digital Envoy, and CAIDA Members. All users who create a publicly available presentation using data from this dataset must provide CAIDA with a copy of the publication and must use the full name of the dataset (e.g. "The CAIDA Anonymized 2007 Internet Traces") in the presentation. Users are further encouraged, but not required, to include the url for the dataset (e.g. http://www.caida.org/data/passive/passive_2007_dataset.xml) in their presentation. *I agree with the terms of this policy
CAIDA will do dataset related announcements, like the availability of a new datasets, on the data-announce@caida.org mailinglist. Subscribe me to data-announce@caida.org
