Abstract

The EIEIO (Event Identification and Evaluation of Internet Outages) project will develop new algorithms to (1) improve coverage of Internet outage detection to cover millions of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)(the primary current Internet) networks that are today uncovered, and extending coverage to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)(the new protocol used by about 30% of America today).(2) analyze this raw data to determine identifiable outage events.(3) relate these events to real-world causes using other datasets. The results of this work will be additional information about Internet reliability, allowing citizens to make informed choices of provider, governments to assess the services their citizens receive, and ISPs to evaluate their offerings and justify improvements. Data from this work will help society understand the impact of natural disasters (such as hurricanes) as they are occurring and will be made available to …
