| Abstract | Internet background radiation (IBR) is a very interesting piece of Internet traffic as it is the result of attacks and misconfigurations. Previous work has primarily analyzed IBR traffic to large unused IP address blocks called network telescopes. In this work, we build new techniques for monitoring one-way traffic in live networks with the main goals of 1) expanding our understanding of this interesting type of traffic towards live networks as well as of 2) making it useful for detecting and analyzing the impact of outages. Our first contribution is a classification scheme for dissecting one-way traffic into useful classes, including one-way traffic due to unreachable services, scanning, peer-to-peer applications, and backscatter. Our classification scheme is helpful for monitoring IBR traffic in live networks solely based on flow level data. After thoroughly validating our classifier, we use it to analyze a massive data-set that covers 7.41 petabytes of traffic from a large backbone network to shed light into the composition of one-way traffic. We find that the main sources of one-way traffic are malicious scanning, peer-to-peer applications, and outages. In addition, we report a number of interesting observations including that one-way traffic makes a very large fraction, i.e., between 34% and 67%, of the total number of flows to the monitored network, although it only accounts for only 3.4% of the number of packets, which suggests a new conceptual model for Internet traffic in which IBR is dominant in terms of flows. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of one-way traffic of the particularly interesting class of unreachable services for monitoring network and service outages by analyzing the impact of interesting events we detected in the network of our university. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
