Technical Session Abstract:

The Rapid Consolidation of Internet Content and Privacy Diffusion 

The last five years have seen a rapid consolidation of Internet
content and traffic demands. Increasingly, we see a small number of
large content companies and CDNs manage the majority of Internet
traffic.  Similarly, just a small handful of data aggregators are able
to track movements of users on the Internet. In this pair of talks we
explore the engineering and privacy implications of such
consolidation.
 
The first talk (by Craig Labovitz, Arbor Networks) reports on a two
year study of more than 200 Exabytes of commercial Internet traffic
through 110 large providers around the world. We show significant
changes in inter-AS traffic demands and an evolution of provider
peering strategies.  Specifically, we find the majority of
inter-domain traffic by volume now flows directly between large
content providers, data center/CDNs and consumer networks. We conclude
with estimates of the current size of the Internet by inter-domain
traffic volume and rate of annualized inter-domain traffic growth.
 
The second talk (by Balachander Krishnamurthy, AT&T Labs--Research)
examines the leakage of privacy on the Internet: how information
related to individual users is aggregated as they browse seemingly
unrelated Web sites. Thousands of Web sites across numerous
categories, countries, and languages were studied to generate a
privacy "footprint". We report on a longitudinal study consisting of
multiple snapshots of our examination of such diffusion over six
years. We examine the various technical ways by which third-party
aggregators acquire data and the depth of such user-related
information.  Our results show increasing aggregation of such data by
a steadily decreasing number of entities. A recent discovery of
large-scale leakage of personally identifiable information (PII) via
Online Social Networks (OSN) is also presented. Third-parties can link
PII with user actions both within OSN sites and elsewhere on non-OSN
sites.
