以合理的方式进行互联网测量研究可能比最初出现的要困难得多。我们提出了许多策略，这些策略是从避免或克服某些陷阱的经验中得出的。特别是，我们讨论处理错误和错误的处理；将元数据与测量相关的重要性；通过检查异常值和测试一致性来校准测量的技术；大规模测量带来的困难；开发纪律以可靠重现分析结果的实用性；以及公开提供数据集的问题。我们以对各种工具和社区实践的想法结论，这些工具和社区实践可以帮助研究人员进行合理的测量研究。
Conducting an Internet measurement study in a sound fashion can be much more difficult than it might first appear. We present a number of strategies drawn from experiences for avoiding or overcoming some of the pitfalls. In particular, we discuss dealing with errors and inaccuracies; the importance of associating <i>meta-data</i> with measurements; the technique of calibrating measurements by examining outliers and testing for consistencies; difficulties that arise with large-scale measurements; the utility of developing a discipline for reliably reproducing analysis results; and issues with making datasets publicly available. We conclude with thoughts on the sorts of tools and community practices that can assist researchers with conducting sound measurement studies.
