The world is employing social distancing, work-from-home, and study-from-home to limit COVID-19's spread until the availability of early detection and a vaccine for COVID-19. Implementation of these policies varies across the U.S. and globally due to local circumstances. A common consequence is a huge shift in Internet use, with university dormitories and high schools emptying and home use increasing. The goal of this project is to observe this shift, globally, through changes in Internet address usage, allowing observation of early reactions to COVID and, one hopes, a future shift back.This project plans to develop two complementary methods of assessing Internet use by measuring address activity and how it changes relative to historical trends. The project will directly measure Internet address use globally based on continuous, ongoing measurements of more than 4 million IPv4 networks. The project will also directly measure Internet address use in network traffic at a regional Internet exchange point where multiple Internet providers interconnect. The first approach provides a global picture, while the second provides a more detailed but regional picture; together they will help evaluate measurement accuracy.This project allows to capture an improved global picture of how different parts of the world react to COVID-19, as seen through their use of the Internet. In particular, the results from this research will help understand changing behavior of networks compared to historical data, and provide a new method based on address usage to characterize how people are staying home, and to look for the effectiveness and onset of work-from-home and shelter-in-place.The project website will be at https://ant.isi.edu/minceq. The project will make all new data generated by this project available at no cost to researchers at https://ant.isi.edu/datasets. The project website and data will persist indefinitely; as of 2020 the website already provides five years of archival data that serves as a baseline.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

世界各地正在采取保持社交距离、在家工作和在家学习的措施来限制 COVID-19 的传播，直到出现早期检测和 COVID-19 疫苗。由于当地情况，这些政策的实施在美国和全球各地有所不同。一个常见的后果是互联网使用的巨大转变，大学宿舍和高中空无一人，而家庭使用却在增加。该项目的目标是通过互联网地址使用的变化来观察全球范围内的这一转变，从而观察对新冠病毒的早期反应，并希望未来能够回归。该项目计划开发两种互补的方法，通过测量地址活动及其相对于历史趋势的变化来评估互联网使用情况。该项目将基于对超过 400 万个 IPv4 网络的持续、持续测量，直接测量全球互联网地址的使用情况。该项目还将直接测量多个互联网提供商互连的区域互联网交换点的网络流量中互联网地址的使用情况。第一种方法提供了全球情况，而第二种方法提供了更详细的区域情况；他们将共同帮助评估测量准确性。该项目可以通过互联网的使用情况，更好地了解世界不同地区对 COVID-19 的反应。特别是，这项研究的结果将有助于了解与历史数据相比网络行为的变化，并提供一种基于地址使用的新方法来描述人们如何呆在家里，并寻找在家工作和就地避难的有效性和开始时间。该项目网站将位于https://ant.isi.edu/minceq。该项目将在 https://ant.isi.edu/datasets 上免费向研究人员提供该项目生成的所有新数据。项目网站和数据将无限期保留；截至 2020 年，该网站已提供五年的档案数据作为基准。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
