Abstract
Internet traffic is a remarkably complex phenomenon that results from the concurrent exchange of data by a wide range of applications, such as web, email, newsgroups and file sharing. In this talk, we present our approach for grouping Internet connections into similar communication patterns using statistical clustering. Our methodology provides both a better understanding of the heterogeneity found in Internet traffic, and a new and flexible way of modeling and synthesizing the workload of the Internet.
