Traffi c Analysis Traffi c Br eakdown 20 January 1994 Trace Gross Characteristics 723 MB total (all sessions) 299 traffi c sour ces 585 MB (81.0% percent of total) from a locally-advertised “radio session” , adjusted totals exclude this session 65 destinations 1,005 conversations 24 advertised sessions 722,901,051 total bytes 100 MB (72.6% of adjusted total) Still Images ( imm and mnm ): 46 MB 2,239,382 total packets Audio ( vat ): 42 MB No special events this day...why so many destination Video ( nv ): 11 MB addresses? 7 unadvertised but known sessions 8 MB (5.5% of adjusted total) 33 unknown sessions 30 MB (21.8% of adjusted total) Measurements and Observations of IP Multicast Traffi c Page 13 of 16 Measurements and Observations of IP Multicast Traffi c Page 14 of 16 Funny User Behavior Conclusions What’s happening here? Aggregate traffi c c patterns suggest vat Traffi IP Multicast traffi c still highly variable No sd advertisements suggests testing, experimentation Dependent on special events and outside factors Improper scope control (most sources in Europe, why should we see Diffi cult to constr uct a “typical” workload their traffi c in California?) Trends? Suggestions Audio conferencing traffi c We need real multicast tree pruning! “Floor control” needed Users need education! Video conferencing traffi c Hosts unreachable from ANSNET backbone User behavior Better protection in network (true multicast tree pruning) User education Measurements and Observations of IP Multicast Traffi c Page 15 of 16 Measurements and Observations of IP Multicast Traffi c Page 16 of 16
