CAIDA Goals

• Encourage the creation of Internet traffic metrics (in collaboration with IETF/IPPM and other organizations); and work with industry, consumer, regulatory, and other representatives to assure their utility and universal acceptance.
• Create a collaborative research and analytic environment in which various forms of traffic data can be acquired, analyzed, and (as appropriate) shared.
• Foster the development of advanced methodologies and techniques for: traffic performance and flow characterization, simulation, analysis, and visualization. Specific areas of future impact include real-time routing instability diagnosis and evolution for next generation measurement and routing protocols (multicast and unicast).
