[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] NSFNET usage

slevy@POINCARE.GEOM.UMN.EDU (01/15/91)

Has anyone surveyed recently to see how the bandwidth of NSFnet or some other
large chunk of Internet is being used, as in per-application-protocol packet or
byte counts?  For example, how much traffic is devoted to FTP, SMTP, NNTP?
Do we still suffer from floods of DNS traffic due to resolver or application
bugs?  How many single-character telnet/rlogin packets traverse the backbone?
