由于测量、处理和存储仪器的复杂性、规模和成本，缺乏支持互联网基础设施研究的合适数据；隐私、安全和商业敏感性；首先是缺乏收集数据的动机。这种数据的缺乏阻碍了研究人员理解和推理互联网的真实属性，如鲁棒性、弹性、安全性和稳定性。在这个项目中，加州大学圣地亚哥分校应用互联网数据分析中心（CAIDA）和俄勒冈大学网络启动资源中心（NSRC）提议升级和整合两个关键的互联网测量能力——100GB流量捕获和BGP路由数据收集——以使研究人员能够在一个重点议程上进行合作：了解互联网的演变特征，以评估、建模和塑造其安全性和弹性为目标。该项目的目标是为上述两个关键的互联网测量功能创建一个变革性的网络基础设施，以支持收集、管理（包括匿名化）、归档和扩展数据共享，这些数据是回答互联网作为不断发展的关键基础设施的关键问题所需要的。该项目将增强基础设施，以维持不断增长的数据包速率和路由表的增长，扩展存储和计算资源，以支持数据的长期使用，并开发额外的工具，以促进它们的组合使用。虽然这两个数据源在过去是分开存在的，但目前的隐私保护方法禁止对它们进行联合分析。这项工作的另一个目标是评估和部署保护隐私的方法，这些方法将允许收集数据的集成，这是一种对某些已确定的研究目标至关重要的新功能。拟议的支持数据采集、管理和尊重隐私的共享的增强功能将对社区产生固有的平衡效应，降低进行和验证实证互联网相关研究的障碍。这些数据和推广活动将使目前依赖于互联网数据的广泛学科取得进展，包括网络科学、社会经济研究、国际关系和政治学。至少在整个项目期间，项目存储库将从提案和里程碑页面链接到：https://caida.org/funding/ccri-ilands。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

There is a dearth of suitable data to support Internet infrastructure research, for understandable reasons: complexity, scale, and cost of measurement, processing, and storage instrumentation; privacy, security and commercial sensitivities; and lack of incentives to gather data in the first place. This lack of data hinders researchers' ability to understand and reason about real-world properties of the Internet such as robustness, resilience, security, and stability. In this project, University of California-San Diego's Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) and University of Oregon's Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) propose to upgrade and integrate two key Internet measurement capabilities -- 100GB traffic capture and BGP routing data collection -- to enable a community of researchers to collaborate on a focused agenda: understanding the evolving character of the Internet, with the objective of assessing, modeling and shaping its security and resilience.The goal of this project is to create a transformative cyberinfrastructure for the aforementioned two key Internet measurement capabilities that supports collection, curation (including anonymization), archiving, and expanded sharing of data needed to answer critical questions about the Internet as evolving critical infrastructure. This project will enhance infrastructure to sustain increased packet rates and routing table growth, expand storage and compute resources to support long-term use of the data, and develop additional tools to facilitate their combined use. While these two data sources have existed separately in the past, current privacy-protection approaches have prohibited joint analysis across them. Another goal of this effort is to evaluate and deploy approaches to protect privacy that will permit integration of the gathered data, a new capability that is critical to some of the identified research goals.The proposed enhancements to support data acquisition, curation, and privacy-respecting sharing will have an inherent equalizing effect on the community, lowering the barriers to undertaking and validating empirical Internet-related research. The data and outreach activities will enable advances to a broad range of disciplines that now depend on data about the Internet, including network science, socioeconomic studies, international relations, and political science.The project repository will be linked from the proposal and milestones page at: https://caida.org/funding/ccri-ilands at least through the duration of the project.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.
