The MAWI Working Group Traffic Archive is a repository of network traffic data maintained by the WIDE Project. It includes various packet traces collected at multiple sampling points, such as daily and long-term traces from different years. These traces are used for research purposes, especially in network traffic analysis and anomaly detection. The archive supports real-time monitoring, privacy protection, and offers tools for data processing and visualization. It is widely used in studies related to internet traffic dynamics and network performance.

Currently, traffic traces are collected at the following sampling points:

• daily traces at the transit link of WIDE to the upstream ISP, in operation since 2006/07/01: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.

longer traces: 48-hour-long traces on 2007/01/09-11, 72-hour-long traces on 2008/03/18-20, 96-hour-long traces on 2009/03/30-04/02, 83-hour-long traces on 2010/04/13-16, 63-hour-long traces on 2012/03/30-04/01, 72-hour-long traces on 2013/06/25-27, 24-hour-long traces on 2014/10/02, 2014/12/10, 2021/04/14, 2023/04/12, 48-hour-long traces on 2015/12/02-03, 2017/04/12-13, 2018/05/09-10, 2019/04/09-10, 2020/04/08-09, 2022/04/13-14 as part of a Day in the Life of the Internet project.

The link was upgraded from 100Mbps to 1Gbps with 150Mbps Committed Access Rate (CAR) on June 1 2007, and then, the CAR was officially removed on June 21, 2016.

Data is missing from November 4 to December 15 in 2022, due to a hardware failure in the middle of the POP migration.

• WIDE started operation at another IX (BBIX) on July 31, 2023 and, as a result, the transit traffic was considerablly reduced. To restore the monitoring coverage, this IX traffic was added to the samplepoint-F on August 8, 2023. Now, the samplepoint-F contains the traffic from the 2 links, the transit link and the BBIX link.

• Note: there are a considerable amount of duplicated packets in the traces from May 28 to September 3, 2015, due to a mis-configured VLAN at the monitored router. (A quick way to remove the duplicates is to use editcap in the wireshark distribution, e.g., "editcap -D64 infile outfile".)

• Note about a large amount of ICMP traffic is in the traces since 2013, probing the entire IPv4 space by the USC ANT project. The probing started in September 2011 with sporadic probing, but changed to constant higher-rate probing since March 27, 2013. The probing once terminated on December 4, 2020, but restarted on July 2, 2023.

About the GTI 5G-A x AI Open Development Program

In Feb 2024 at MWC Barcelona, GTI launched the 5G-A×AI Development Program to promote the integrated innovation of 5G and AI in technology, business, ecology, and commerce, and two-way empowerment. Therefore, 5G is smarter and AI is more ubiquitous, which will support the goals of GTI 3.0. First, Build Open Labs to provide basic environment, equipment facilities, industry application scenarios and other resources for 5G-AxAI integration innovation, and carry out the R&D, testing and demonstration of new technologies and solutions. Second, Build an Open Collaborative Innovation Community, with an online platform for “Communication and Sharing” and “Supply and Demand Matching”, and jointly carry out cutting-edge exploration, technical research, testing and iterative optimization. Third, Explore Innovative 5G-AxAI Integration Use Cases, and condense themreplicable business model templates, so as to provide references for value creation and monetization.
