Structural Analysis of Network Traffic Flows

Overview Network traffic arises from the superposition of Origin-Destination (OD) flows. Hence, a thorough understanding of OD flows is essential for modeling network traffic, and for addressing a wide variety of problems including traffic engineering, traffic matrix estimation, capacity planning, forecasting and anomaly detection. However, to date, OD flows have not been closely studied, and there is very little known about their properties. This paper presents the first analysis of complete sets of OD flow time-series, taken from two different backbone networks (Abilene and Sprint-Europe).

Cisco releases router software fix

While the appropriate measures are being taken to protect the Sprint Internet backbone, issues may arise with traffic that is handed off to other carriers, if those carriers have not taken the measures that Sprint has, to protect their networks...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The next step in automotive engineering is using radar and ultrasound to detect other objects and traffic flow characteristics. These measures may improve traffic flow but the UK's roads are already close to bursting.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: How we'll beat road pricing

Unfortunately all efforts to sort out public transport have seen no significant improvements and in many areas the situation is critical, especially in London where it seems to me the congestion charge has failed to improve traffic flows.

Hot issue for green IT

Air flows are controlled and directed through the racks to maximise cooling using a mix of laminar and turbulent air flows. Let's start with the optimum air flow in a data centre. Many have revisited the idea of water cooling but this is very...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
