An Analysis of Internet Content Delivery Systems Export

@misc{citeulike:5004608, abstract = {In the span of only a few years, the Internet has experienced an astronomical increase in the use of specialized content delivery systems, such as content delivery networks and peer-to-peer file sharing systems.

From this trace, we isolated and characterized traffic belonging to each of these four delivery classes.
