Regrettably, I cannot be in Prague. However, I do owe people an update on what's happened to my traffic measurement project. There has been several problems. One is legality; it's not entirely clear that it's lergal to collect data with the granularity I'm interested in. I have discussed this with various people and I have been unable to get a definite answer. While the user data can be removed and still leave something useful, that may not be enough. It may be necessary to scramble the source/destination addresses completely in order to avoid potential privacy violations. Another problem is that the person I had working on the project resigned and went elsewhere. This caused me a major operational problem and I do not yet know what I can do about it. I do not have the staff to continue the operation right now and it is not clear if and when I will. We - like a number of other groups - are being subjected to budget reductions and staff re-allocation and although we will likely get the position re-filled, it may also be re- programmed :-( What I am left with now is a large stack of CD-ROM's with an enormous amount of data on them. Around six months! The data itself is in good order, but I do not have the analysis programs written. I have tried to make sure that the data itself is saved so that it can be used if I can find the necessary labor to do the job. If anyone is willing to work on getting the necessary analysis programs written, I am willing - subject to agreement to preserve privacy - to make available the data. I trust you will all have a productive meeting. Regards, Torben
