1A Geopolitical Analysis of long term Internet Network Telescope Traffic (original) (raw)

2005

Abstract

Abstract—This paper presents results form the analysis of twelve months of network telescope traffic spanning 2005 and 2006, and details some of the tools developed. The most significant results of the analysis are highlighted. In particular the bulk of traffic analysed had its source in the China from a volume perspective, but Eastern United States, and North Western Europe were shown to be primary sources when the number of unique hosts were considered. Traffic from African states (South Africa in particular) was also found to be surprisingly high. This unexpected result may be due to the network locality preference of many automated agents. Both statistical and graphical analysis are presented. It is found that a country with a high penetration of broadband connectivity is likley to feature highly in Network telescope traffic, as are networks logically close to the telescope network.
