The Internet is a demanding and stimulating object of study. Despite its increasingly central role in society, many basic questions about the properties of the Internet remain unanswered. On the one hand, it's sometimes surprising to nonspecialists that we need to measure the Internet at all, since it is an engineered artifact. But the Internet's prodigious size, decentralized design and evolution, and constant growth and change defeat any attempt at definitive description. As a result, those trying to obtain accurate knowledge about the nature of the Internet's infrastructure, protocols, applications, or dynamic behavior have found themselves faced with a wide variety of problems. The Internet Measurement Conference serves to bring together researchers attacking these challenging, and fascinating, problems.The increasing interest surrounding the field of Internet measurement has prompted a change in format this year: whereas previous Internet Measurement Workshops limited participation, this year the program moves to a Conference format with open participation. Hopefully this will provide an opportunity for even more researchers to actively engage with others in the field.The program you are holding is the result of a selective review process. The program committee received 109 submissions; from these, 32 papers were accepted (13 extended abstracts and 19 full papers) for an acceptance rate of 29%. The program committee meeting was held with all members in attendance either in person or by teleconference. Most reviews were provided by program committee members themselves; in some cases, outside experts were also consulted. The list of additional reviewers appears on a separate page in this program.Among the many excellent papers received, the program committee is pleased to single out "Inverting Sampled Traffic," by Nicolas Hohn and Darryl Veitch for special recognition as the Best Student Paper. In addition, four papers have been forwarded to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for expedited consideration.
