Abstract

Measurement-driven networking research can be viewed as a reaction to the wide-spread belief within the networking community that much of conventional networking research has only given lip-service to the importance of network measurements and, as a result, has become less and less successful in understanding, explaining, and handling the increasingly complex and large-scale nature of modern communication networks. In this talk, I will illustrate with three examples why and how measurement-based findings about the actual dynamics of Internet traffic have opened up new avenues of research into algorithm engineering and experiments.
