Data Sharing for Public CAIDA Datasets

CAIDA provides public online access to several datasets. Users interested in downloading these data are asked to fill out an optional user-info form, where among other items they provide an email address. The number of submitted user-info forms are used to count the number of users of public CAIDA data. The TLDs in the email addresses are used to obtain the geographic distribution of users of CAIDA public datasets. Because the submission of this form is entirely optional, the counts below represent a lower limit on the number of users.

The first graphs give the number of user-info submissions (with and without valid email addresses) for CAIDA public datasets.

The second graph shows the different TLDs, extracted from the email addresses provided by users that download public data, to get an overview of the type of user (e.g., educational, commercial, government, etc.) and, from country-level TLDs, their geographic distribution.
