Internet packet probes data

Description

These data correspond to an experiment conducted by Coates et al. to measure the difference in delay experienced by packet probes sent over the Internet during a short period in 2001, from a desktop computer in the ECE department at Rice University to similar machines at ten other university locations. The data were intended for use with a newly proposed method of Internet topology inference.

Usage

delaydata
host.locs

Format

The data is provided in two files. delaydata is a three-column data frame. The first columnf is the difference in delay of the small packets (in milliseconds). The second column is the numeric code of the destination of small packets. The third column is the numeric code of the destination of large packet.

host.locs contains the character code of the destinations:

1. ‘IST’ Instituto Superior Tecnico (Portugal)

2. ‘IT’ Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (Portugal)

3. ‘Bkly’ University of California, Berkeley

4. ‘MSU1’ Michigan State University (Host 1)

5. ‘MSU2’ Michigan State University (Host 2)

6. ‘UIUC’ University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

7. ‘UWisc1’ University of Wisconsin, Madison (Host 1)

8. ‘UWisc2’ University of Wisconsin, Madison (Host 2)

9. ‘RiceU1’ Rice University (Host 1)

10. ‘RiceU2’ Rice University (Host 2)
