Remote Measurement of NNTP Internet Traffic

چکیده
Measuring internet traffic related to NNTP protocol (Usenet News) provides vital information needed for optimum news server configuration. However, gathering data is usually restricted to the “local view”, even though in networked environment an overview of the neighbourhood traffic would be more appropriate. This article describes method of gathering such data from remote points and analysing it to provide the required traffic flow information.

Measurement and analysis of real traffic is important to gain knowledge about the characteristics of the traffic. Without measurement, it is impossible to build realistic traffic models. It is recent that data traffic was found to have self-similar properties. In this thesis work traffic captured on the network at SICS and on the Supernet, is shown to have this fractal-like behaviour. The traff...

The application considered responsible for most of the Internet traffic volume is file-sharing. Among the popular file-sharing applications are P2P-based ones, using e. g., the BitTorrent protocol, Web based offers by direct download services (DDS), e. g., rapidshare.com, and NNTP based services, e. g., giganews.com. To cope with the ever growing bandwidth demands ISPs are exploring various opt...
