Estimating Diffusion Path of Information using Overlay Network

提出了一种信息在互联网上传播路径的估计方法。该方法由流量标识提取模块和识别模块组成。作为流标识符，提出了8比特的流净荷编码和报文传输时间间隔。利用这些标识符来检测网络中观察到的流的身份，从而保护隐私。

An estimation method of diffusion path of information on the Internet has been developed. The method consists of extracting module of a flow identifier and identifying module. As flow identifier, 8 bit code of flow payloads and time interval for transmitting messages are proposed. Using these identifiers, an algorithm to detect identity of flows observed in network is developed keeping to privacy.
