- Description
- This paper presents results form the analysis of twelve months of net-work telescope traffic spanning 2005 and 2006, and details some of the tools developed. The most significant results of the analysis are high-lighted. In particular the bulk of traffic analysed had its source in the China from a volume perspective, but Eastern United States, and North Western Europe were shown to be primary sources when the number of unique hosts were considered. Traffic from African states (South Af-rica in particular) was also found to be surprisingly high. This unex-pected result may be due to the network locality preference of many automated agents. Both statistical and graphical analysis are present-ed. It is found that a country with a high penetration of broadband con-nectivity is likley to feature highly in Network telescope traffic, as are networks logically close to the telescope network.
