Abstract :
Internet flows characteristics are important reference for network behaviors research. However, there are few latest related studies and comparative analysis on different networks is especially rare. Based on traffic traces from CAIDA and CERNET, this paper presents a detailed and comprehensive comparison on Internet flows characteristics, including the fine-grained distributions of lifetime, size, rate, life stage, port and protocol of flows. Our comparative research and conclusion can provide a latest data support for other studies of network behaviors, traffic classification, network performance and network security etc.
