A visualization study of network data traffic is presented that allows for interpretation of the hourly traffic trends and dependencies between traffic parameters. The traffic statistics are a function of many parameters such as the time of the day, the application port, protocol and packet size. The data used in this work is obtained from packet header traces measured at the University of Massachusetts Lowell router that connects the campus network to the Internet. The visualization of upstream and downstream traffic shows that the TCP protocol is the dominant traffic generator at all times of the day. Among the TCP applications, HTTP, FTP, and SMTP generate over seventy percent of the hourly byte and packet volume. This study also examines the relationship between applications and the packet sizes they generate. On an hourly time scale, over 90% of traffic in the outbound direction is in the 0-100 byte range and is generated by client traffic from web and email related applications. In the inbound direction, over 75% of the traffic are in the 576 and 1500 byte range and arise from server responses to the outbound requests. These dependent relationships between packet size and applications are found to be consistent features in the day to day patterns of bi-directional traffic between the campus network and the Internet.
