The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis
ISMA Aug '98 - Engineering and Data Analysis
On August 31 - September 1, 1998, CAIDA hosted an invitation-only Internet Statistics and Metrics Analysis (ISMA) meeting focused on Backbone Engineering Data & Analysis.

Workshop Report

The goal of the meeting was to clarify ISP requirements for Internet statistics and metrics that support backbone engineers ability to:

  • diagnose network problems
  • conduct capacity planning
  • explain the phenomenon resulting from topology changes
The meeting was held in the auditorium of the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Attendance was being limited to individuals who have demonstrated expertise in the field of analyzing traffic and routing metrics for backbone applications. To keep the meeting small and focused, participation was mostly limited to one attendee per organization.

A list of hotels and directions to SDSC are available.

An Otter image of Skitter measurement data was featured on the ISMA t-shirts.

The Meeting Agenda is available for review.
