Abstract :
Distributed applications rely on packet-switched networks to connect their various elements. This paper describes a technique that can help software engineers and network administrators characterize unfamiliar networked applications by matching them to a single, or a combination of several, analogous and familiar networked applications). This matching is based on the size distribution of the packets sent and received by the application undergoing scrutiny.
