| additional remarks | The Internet is one of the most complex systems the human race has engineered. However, this increasing complexity has made it remarkably difficult for engineers to not only understand but also reliably predict its behavior today. It becomes intangible to identify improvements to a system when many aspects of the system become opaque to its designers. Internet measurements has emerged as a new field in our era that helps to identify the properties of the Internet so that we are in a better position to improve it for future generations. Measurements are used today to not only isolate network failures but also to ascertain network performance and study the natural evolution of this running system. This is the reason why measurements are starting to get actively used by standardization bodies to inform protocol engineering and design. They are also actively used by network operators and content providers to help improve the quality of experience of their customers. Measurements are also becoming input for regulators that shape future broadband policies. This lab is focused on Internet measurements and reproducibility of research results. In the first part, we will perform hands-on Internet measurement experiments (e.g., using dedicated large-scale measurement platforms and other measurement tools) to investigate various questions through a number of assignments. In the second part, we will attempt to reproduce results published in recent Internet measurement papers. The lab will conclude with a report and presentation of the reproducibility process. |
