Internet Reliability, from Addresses to Outages. Heidemann, J. Talk at MIT CSAIL, February, 2018.
Internet Reliability, from Addresses to Outages [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The Internet is central to our lives, but we know astoundingly little about it. How big is the Internet? How reliable? How is it evolving over months? How does it change over the course of a day? Since 2006, we have been studying the public face of the Internet to answer these questions. We take regular censuses, probing the entire IPv4 Internet address space. For nearly two years we have been observing Internet reliability through active probing with Trinocular outage detection, showing that the Internet reflects natural disasters like Hurricanes from Sandy to Harvey and Maria. Additional analysis of this data has shown that the Internet ``sleeps'': we can see that some areas have more active IP addresses during the day. Our data provides a unique perspective on the reliability and relative maturity of the Internet in different countries. The talk will explore these relationships through the science behind these ideas.

The Internet is central to our lives, but we know astoundingly little about it.
How big is the Internet?  How reliable?  How is it evolving over months?  
How does it change over the course of a day?
Since 2006, we have been studying the public face of the Internet to
answer these questions.  We take regular censuses, probing the entire
IPv4 Internet address space.  For nearly two years we have been
observing Internet reliability through active probing with Trinocular
outage detection, showing that the Internet reflects natural disasters
like Hurricanes from Sandy to Harvey and Maria.  Additional analysis
of this data has shown that the Internet ``sleeps'': we can see that
some areas have more active IP addresses during the day.  Our data
provides a unique perspective on the reliability and relative maturity
of the Internet in different countries.  The talk will explore these
relationships through the science behind these ideas.
