[news.groups] USENET FLOW ANALYSIS REPORT FOR OCT 89

USENET FLOW ANALYSIS REPORT for OCT 89

This is the first article in a monthly posting series from the Network
Measurement Project at the DEC Western Research Laboratory in Palo Alto,
California. Textual articles in the series are posted to news.lists,
and PostScript map files are posted to news.misc. In past months the map files
have been posted to various other newsgroups, but invariably there were
bitter complaints from somebody. If I have to move them out of news.misc
because of any more bitter complaints, I'm going to put them in
alt.restaurants.

This flow analysis is based on a sample of data taken from 
246 USENET sites. The sampling program was run voluntarily
by the site administrators. It analyzed the contents of the news
spooling directory and mailed a summary of what it found to 
the analysis mailbox at decwrl.dec.com. There the data is converted
into a per-day flow rate, the flow information was combined together,
and the resulting aggregate flows used to produce maps.

The maps are all PostScript files. They can be printed on any PostScript
printer and on many PostScript-compatible printers. They use features of
PostScript that cannot be translated into most other page description
schemes, such as HPGL.

The PostScript map files are all transmitted in multiple parts, and there
is an accompanying Makefile. To produce printable files, just assemble the
various parts and the Makefile together in a directory and type "make".


The following sites have contributed data. If you would like to contribute
data from your site, please copy the program "inpaths" from a companion
posting, install it, and run it at intervals. Ideally we would like you
to run it once a month, to keep our data fresh.
