These traces each contain a million packet arrivals seen on the Ethernet. The traces are in 2-column ASCII format. The first column gives a floating-point time stamp representing the time in seconds since the start of a trace. The second column gives the Ethernet data length in bytes. Although the times are expressed to 6 places after the decimal point, giving the appearance of microsecond resolution, the hardware clock had an actual resolution of 4 microseconds. The length field does not include the Ethernet preamble, header, or CRC. The trace BC-pAug89.TL began at 11:25 on August 29, 1989, and ran for about 3142.82 seconds (until 1,000,000 packets had been captured). The trace BC-pOct89.TL began at 11:00 on October 5, 1989, and ran for about 1759.62 seconds. The trace BC-Oct89Ext.TL began at 23:46 on October 3, 1989, and captured the first 1 million external arrivals (packets headed between Bellcore and the rest of the Internet), ending about 122797.83 seconds later. The short version traces "pAug89_2000.TL", "pOct89_2000.TL" and "OctExt89_2000.TL" are obtained from "BC-pAug89.TL", "BC-pOct89.TL", "BC-Oct89Ext.TL", respectively. Each of the short traces contains the first 2,000 samples of the source traces.
