The recovery of the flow-length distribution from (sampled) packet data is referred to as flow-inversion. Traditional packet sampling methods cause distortions in a recovered distribution of flow-length. We propose an improved method for inverting data sampled using the technique known as sample-and-hold. We show that the technique improves upon existing inversion techniques illustrated using both real and artificial data sets. The technique described may have applications to other inversion problems. date: 2008 publisher: IEEE official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/INFOCOM.2008.4544600 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: Manually entered elements_id: 102010 doi: 10.1109/INFOCOM.2008.4544600 isbn_13: 978-1-4244-2219-7 lyricists_name: Clegg, Richard lyricists_name: Landa Gamiochipi, Raul lyricists_name: Rio, Miguel lyricists_id: RCLEG46 lyricists_id: RLLAN35 lyricists_id: MJGRI50 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Piscataway, US refereed: TRUE book_title: INFOCOM 2008 Global Internet Symposium, Phoenix, USA, April 2008 citation: Clegg, R; Landa, R; Haddadi, H; Rio, M; Moore, AW; (2008) Techniques for flow inversion on sampled data.
