Abilene
Data capture
The data was captured in the backbone infrastructure of the Abilene Network operated by Internet2. The capturing was done over several months in 2004, during which traffic measurements were recorded at regular 5-minute intervals from core network links.
Data description
The dataset consists of aggregated traffic matrices representing communication between backbone nodes of the Abilene network. The created datapoints represent a summarized traffic volumes between origin–destination node pairs within a defined time window of 5 minutes.
The dataset is divided into three subsets: Matrix, Node2Node, and Node. Each subset is additionaly aggregated into 10-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day time window intervals.
Matrix subset
In this subset, features are 12x12 TMs. Contains 1 time series.
