6. Network Statistics

If you would like to publish statistics in your newsletter about your institution's network traffic into and out of the NSFNET backbone, you can obtain information on either the packets or bytes sent. I prefer bytes which can be translated into an understandable figure.

6.1. Files containing monthly information on NSF Internet backbone traffic by packets or bytes (document)

      Source:
      Anonymous FTP to nis.nsf.net

      cd statistics/nsfnet

      get INDEX.statistics

      cd 19?? where ?? is the year you are interested in.

      Files are availble for traffic by ports, country, delay, bytes and
      packets for T1 and T3 networks.
