Abstract

Internet traffic is experiencing a shift from webtraffic to file swapping traffic. Today a significant partof Internet traffic is generated by peer-to-peerapplications, mostly by the popular Kazaa application.Yet, to date, few studies analyze Kazaa traffic, thusleaving the bulk of Internet traffic in dark. We presenta large-scale investigation of Kazaa traffic based onlogs collected at a large Israeli ISP, which captureroughly a quarter of all traffic between Israel and US.
