It provides: * Visualizations of the DNS traffic for .nl, which is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Netherlands. It also contains stats on domain registrations, DNS queries, DNSSEC usage, plus layer-3 and layer-4 information. * Longitudinal data: the data we provide are continuous and longitudinal (starting from May 2014), and daily updated. * The respective datasets in JSON format. * URL: https://stats.sidnlabs.nl/ Currently, we only provide aggregated data and visualizations, which means that we do not offer PCAP/Netflow datasets, similarly to the former Internet2 Netflow Weekly report[2]. However, if you have a novel research idea that would improve the security and stability of the Internet and would require our data, then let us know so that we can consider sharing some of the underlying data with you (subject to our privacy framework and EU and Dutch privacy laws [3]). Mail us at sidnlabs@sidn.nl. ABOUT SIDN AND SIDN LABS: SIDN[1] manages .nl, the Internet's country-code domain for the Netherlands. As the Dutch national domain name registry, we enable Internet users all over the world to register.nl domain names and use them safely. We operate the .nl zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) and handle over a billion DNS queries a day for the 5.5 million-plus registered .nl domain names. More than 2.4 million of those domain names are secured with DNSSEC, making .nl the largest secured Internet extension in the world. We operate our own DNS anycast network to maximise the availability of the .nl zone and we provide backend services for .aw (Aruba, a Dutch overseas territory) and .amsterdam. SIDN Labs[4] is SIDN's research and development team, which develops and evaluates new technologies and systems with a view to further enhancing the stability and security of .nl, the DNS and the wider Internet. DATA DESCRIPTION The data were obtained by analyzing the DNS traffic received on one of our authoritative name servers for .nl. They represent approximately 10 per cent of the total traffic, or about 130 million queries per day. Please note that most of the traffic comes from DNS resolvers, which are typically located at ISPs/CDNs, and not from end users. Data interpretation: Please be aware that, due to DNS caching by the resolvers operated by ISPs and CDNs, the data are actually a sample of all the .nl queries generated by clients. Data format: The data are made available in JSON format. Data processing: We use our Hadoop-based ENTRADA platform and our Domain Registration System (DRS). ENTRADA[5] is an acronym for ENhanced Top-level domain Resilience through Advanced Data Analysis. The goal of the ENTRADA platform is to develop new applications and services with a view to further increasing the security and stability of .nl, the DNS and the wider internet. ENTRADA enables us to store all the DNS queries received on our authoritative name servers. Automated analysis of the stored data helps us to quickly detect threats and anomalies.

The focus is on improving the practice or application of measurements, across the entire network stack up to the application layer, with an emphasis on new areas of network communication such as Software-Defined Networks, Cloud services, Content Distribution Networks, social networks, mobile applications and data centers, but also including more traditional measurement topics, such as traffic classification, anomaly detection, network performance evaluation and traffic analysis. Some relevant topics include: - Measurements of data centers, virtualized systems and cloud-based services - Measurements of distributed systems, including content distribution and P2P networks - Application layer measurements, including web services, social networks, mobile applications - Traffic analysis, characterization, visualization and classification - Anomaly detection - Measurements of home, wireless and cellular networks - Security and privacy in network measurement and analysis - Network measurement and monitoring methods and techniques - Network monitoring systems and distributed monitoring architectures - Network performance evaluation, troubleshooting and topology measurements - Measurement based experiments: repeatability tests, shared datasets, collaborative platforms - Measurements of the Quality of Service and Quality of Experience - Measurement in Software-Defined Networks - Measuring the impact of Big Data processing on networks - Traffic measurement and analysis using Big Data frameworks Extended versions of the two best papers on machine learning, data mining and Big Data for network monitoring and analysis will be fast-tracked for publication in a Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Networks, subject to further revision: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-machine-learning-data-mining-and-big-data/ Papers describing experiments with users or user data (e.g., passwords, social network information), should follow the basic principles of ethical research, e.g., beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), minimal risk (appropriateness of the risk versus benefit ratio), voluntary consent, respect for privacy, and limited deception. When appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a subsection describing these issues, and the review process may examine the ethical soundness of the paper just as it would examine the technical aspects. Authors unsure about topical fit or ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs at tma2016-chairs@googlegroups.com Submission guidelines: Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. Submissions must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE 2-column style. A template is available on: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected without review.

Hence, it will focus on rigorous approaches and cutting-edge solutions, which encompass three classes of major methods: - Those that take inspiration from nature for the development of novel problem solving techniques; - Those that are based on the use of networks to synthesize natural phenomena; and - Those that employ natural materials (e.g., molecules,) to compute or communicate. The book=E2=80=99s purpose is to make a formal basis more accessible to researchers, scientists, professionals and students as well as developers and practitioners in ICT by providing them with state-of-the-art research results, applications, opportunities and future trends. Original contributions will be solicited for the book. In particular, theoretical contributions should be formally stated and justified, and practical applications should be based on their firm formal basis.: OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK ---- The proposed book is preferred to be an advanced reference material for readers who already have a basic understanding of networking and are now ready to know how to develop NiN using rigorous approaches. Hence, theoretical contributions are welcome provided their relevance for how to develop NiN is clear. Reports on applications are welcome provided their formal basis is evident. For keeping a reasonable trade-off between theoretical and practical issues, a careful selection of the chapters will be done, on the one hand, to cover a broad spectrum of formal and practical aspects and, on the other hand, to achieve as much as possible a self-contained book. Formal and practical aspects will be preferably presented in a straightforward fashion by discussing in detail the necessary components and briefly touching on the more advanced components. Therefore, development should be demonstrated how to use the formal methods for NiN will be described by sound judgments and reasonable justifications.

This evolution of network softwarization is enabled by three paradig= ms: (i) Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which allows network control to = be separated from the forwarding plane and allows for a flexible management= of the network resources, (ii) Network Virtualization (NV), which enables = virtualization of network resources, and (iii) Network Function Virtualizat= ion (NFV), which focuses on virtualization of software-based network functi= ons. Instead of installing and managing dedicated hardware devices for thes= e functions, they are instead implemented as software components and deploy= ed on commodity hardware infrastructures. There are also ongoing research e= fforts focusing on Software-Defined Clouds, including edge clouds and Fog C= omputing.=20 In order to efficiently manage softwarized networks and to be able to use t= hem to their full potential, there are many interesting challenges to be ad= dressed (see the areas listed below).=20=20 We welcome submissions addressing the important challenges and presenting n= ovel research or experimentation results.
