The Minnesota Internet Traffic Studies (MINTS) site (check it out in
coming weeks for more details about MINTS) will integrate with more
than100 sites around the world -- some academic and others commercial --
that track network traffic, said Andrew Odlyzko , director of the Digital
Technology Center at the University of Minnesota and a speaker at
Tuesday's Internet Bandwidth Supply & Demand conference at Boston
University, which was organized by Information Gatekeepers (IGI). In
addition, carriers will share some of their network traffic numbers under
nondisclosure agreements, so that traffic loads and patterns can be
analyzed and shared, but without revealing individual carrier numbers, he
said.
