Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Passive and Active Measurement, PAM 2008, held in Cleveland, OH, USA, in April 2008. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. The papers focus on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques and are organized in topical sections on addressing and topology, applications, classification and sampling, measurement systems and frameworks, wireless 802.11, tools, characterization and trends, and malware and anomalies Front Matter....Pages - The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived Collapse?....Pages 1-10 Assessing the Geographic Resolution of Exhaustive Tabulation for Geolocating Internet Hosts....Pages 11-20 Observations of IPv6 Addresses....Pages 21-30 The New Web: Characterizing AJAX Traffic....Pages 31-40 Measurement and Estimation of Network QoS Among Peer Xbox 360 Game Players....Pages 41-50 Evaluation of VoIP Quality over WiBro....Pages 51-60 Packet Sampling for Flow Accounting: Challenges and Limitations....Pages 61-71 On the Validation of Traffic Classification Algorithms....Pages 72-81 Evaluation of Header Field Entropy for Hash-Based Packet Selection....Pages 82-91 A Reactive Measurement Framework....Pages 92-101 Towards a High Quality Path-Oriented Network Measurement and Storage System....Pages 102-111 On Community-Oriented Internet Measurement....Pages 112-121 On the Effectiveness of Switched Beam Antennas in Indoor Environments....Pages 122-131 On the Fidelity of 802.11 Packet Traces....Pages 132-141 Refocusing in 802.11 Wireless Measurement....Pages 142-151 Pathdiag: Automated TCP Diagnosis....Pages 152-161 SCUBA : Focus and Context for Real-Time Mesh Network Health Diagnosis....Pages 162-171 IMR-Pathload: Robust Available Bandwidth Estimation Under End-Host Interrupt Delay....Pages 172-181 A Measurement Study of Internet Delay Asymmetry....Pages 182-191 Trends and Differences in Connection-Behavior within Classes of Internet Backbone Traffic....Pages 192-201 The Cubicle vs. The Coffee Shop: Behavioral Modes in Enterprise End-Users....Pages 202-211 A Two-Layered Anomaly Detection Technique Based on Multi-modal Flow Behavior Models....Pages 212-221 Malware in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networks....Pages 222-231 Back Matter....Pages - The 2008 edition of the Passive and Active Measurement Conference was the ninth of a series of successful events. Since 2000, the Passive and Active M- surement (PAM) conference has provided a forum for presenting and discussing innovative and early work in the area of Internet measurement. PAM has a tradition of being a workshop-like conference with lively discussion and active participation from all attendees. This event focuses on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. This year's c- ference was held in Cleveland, Ohio. PAM2008's call for papers attracted 71 submissions. Each paper was ca- fully reviewed by at least three members of the Technical Program Committee. The reviewing process led to the acceptance of 23 papers. The papers were - ranged into eight sessions covering the following areas: addressing and topology, applications,classi?cationandsampling,measurementsystems andframeworks, wireless 802.11, tools, characterization and trends, and malware and anomalies. We are very grateful to Endace, Intel and Cisco Systems whose sponsoring allowed us to keep low registration costs and also to o?er several travel grants to PhD students. We are also grateful to Case Western Reserve University for sponsoring PAM as a host.
