WITS: Waikato Internet Traffic Storage

Introduction

The Waikato Internet Traffic Storage project aims to collect and document all the Internet traces that the WAND Group has in their possession. Some of these trace sets are now freely available for researchers to download. We hope to continue releasing other traces in the future.

News

2010/01/06: Added pages for a set of traces captured from a New Zealand ISP called Local ISP C-I. Unfortunately, the traces themselves cannot be released to the public as yet.

2009/12/14: Updated pages for Auckland VII and Auckland VIII trace sets to include download links pointing at the WITS FTP site.

2009/12/10: Created pages for the Leipzig I and Leipzig II trace sets that were previously available from the NLANR archive. The traces are also downloadable; links can be found on their respective web pages.

2009/11/13: The Auckland II, Auckland IV and Auckland VI pages have been updated to include links to download them from the WITS FTP site. In addition, the Auckland II traces have been replaced with traces that do not feature the major anonymisation bug that was present in the NLANR releases. We have also anonymised and released traces that were part of the same capture but were never made publicly available.

2009/10/21: Waikato I has been released to the research community for the first time. Follow the download links added to each of the pages for the Waikato I trace set to access the traces.

Processing Traces

We strongly recommend using Libtrace for any processing tasks you might want to perform on the traces in the WITS archive.
