On December 7-8, 2000, CAIDA hosted an Internet Statistics and Metrics Analysis (ISMA) workshop concerning the correlation and visualization of
core routing tables and macroscopic topology data sets.
This meeting engaged researchers and practitioners experienced in data analysis, data visualization, and Internet operations fields.
Workshop Research Questions
- How can we correlate and analyze massive routing, topology, and performance data sets to provide timely insight into both normal as well as anomalous Internet behavior?
- What analysis tools exist or are needed to aid correlation?
- How accurately does a typical core routing table reflect paths that traffic will actually take through the infrastructure? Can we account for all types of incongruities?
- Can we identify causes of trends in routing table growth, such as multi-homing at the edges?
- What mechanisms currently exist or could be developed to identify critical or vulnerable pieces of the infrastructure?
- How will needs change for MPLS/TE infrastructure? What about optical (non-IP) switched core?
