Abstract:

This is an overview of some recent research, and of some open problems, in the visualization of internet traffic data. One challenge comes from the sheer scale of the data, where millions (and far more if desired) of observations are frequently available. Another challenge comes from ubiquitous heavy tail distributions, which render standard ideas such as "random sampling will give a representative sample" obsolete. Some alternate sampling approaches are suggested and studied.
