INTERNET AND WWW MEASUREMENT, MAPPING, AND MODELING
The Internet is capturing a central role in the social and economic
fabrics of the global structure. While it is growing at a
remarkable rate, there is no means by which users or network planners can
track this growth. Mapping the network, namely, taking
a snapshot of its current status, can help applications to better utilize
the network. Analyzing maps taken over long periods of time
can help in understanding how the Internet evolves. Understanding the
Internet structure and evolution can help in designing and
constructing better applications, and in the deployment of new network
level services.
The goal of this issue is to examine the Internet structure and the
structure of its most profligate application, the WWW, and to
examine tools, methods, and instrumentations designed to map and
understand the Internet structure. In particular, we are
interested in original research contributions addressing the following
issues:
Internet and WWW structure modeling:
empirical studies,
mathematical models,
topology generators.
Tools for mapping and measuring the Internet and the WWW:
discovery techniques,
measurement techniques,
measurement infrastructure,
visualization.
Effect of mapping and measurement on application performance:
application level routing,
network-adaptive applications,
group communication,
virtual topology construction.
