Home IP Trace Gathering

 

During October and November of 1996, we gathered over 45 consecutive days worth of HTTP traces from the Home IP service offered by UC Berkeley to its students, faculty, and staff available to researchers. (Two and a half weeks worth of anonymized versions of these traces have been made available at https://www.acm.org/ita.) Home IP provides dial-up PPP/SLIP connectivity using 2.4 kb/s, 9.6 kb/s, 14.4 kb/s, or 28.8 kb/s wireline modems, or Metricom Ricochet wireless modems (which achieve approximately 20-30 kb/s throughput with a 500 ms RTT).
