Internet sampling and measurement

Abstract

Sampling Internet structure and its service availability have always been important issues in networking research. This project investigates mechanisms for discovering available services on the Internet using scalable end-to-end measurements, estimaing delay between arbitrary hosts using the existing DNS infrastructure, and computing flow sizes under severe RAM constraints (i.e., using data-streaming models).
