1. MOTIVATION
Real-world Internet traÆc traces are crucial for network re-
search such as workload characterization, traÆc engineering,
packet classication, web performance, and more generally
network measurement and simulation. However, only a tiny
percentage of traÆc traces collected are made public (e.g.,
by NLANR [6] and ACM ITA project [1]) for research pur-
poses. One major reason why ISPs or other traÆc trace
