ITSA: Internet traffic statistics archive

Abstract

Motivated by the fact that comprehensive and long term Internet traffic measurements can be hard to obtain, we have proposed and developed the Internet Traffic Statistics Archive (ITSA). Since 2013, ITSA concentrates reports on highlevel statistics of Internet traffic worldwide. Examples of statistics are shares of traffic per port, protocols and distribution of packets and bytes. Such information can be of great help to those that need to support claims and assumptions on what Internet traffic actually looks like. The reports containing traffic statistics are generated on a weekly basis from NetFlow data, and publicly published on the ITSA website. In this demo we will present the ITSA architecture, how it can be used, and how the available data can help to visualize and understand trends in Internet traffic.
