The traffic measurement and the empirical studies for the Internet

The traffic engineering for a packet switched network such as the Internet is important for the network management and the future network plan. The investigation method for the traffic measurement should be build to understand the characteristics of the network. This paper describes the measurement system for the Internet traffic and shows some aspects of the Internet with the system. The results show some aspects of TCP sessions such as the number of packets, amount for transmission, connection time, the starting time, connection interval and retransmission of packets. The self-similar test for the traffic of the TCP and UDP were also done with the variance time plot and they were self-similar traffic.
