format with the following schema: #fsdb -F t block round_no round_start_epoch a_short a_oper status belief n_pos n_neg (A7 has a reduced schema, only: #fsdb block round ts A status belief n_pos n_neg) • block: hex format of /24 IP block, with trailing zeros (A7 omits trailing zeros) • round_no: round number in this batch (will reset each time we restart) • round_start_epoch: when the round began, in seconds since 1970 • a_short: the short term estimate of availability • a_oper: the operational estimate of A value (long term and reflecting variance) • status: status of this block • for A7, text UP/DOWN/UNKNOWN • for A12 and later: 0 for down, 1 for up, 2 for unknown • belief: our belief the block is down • n_pos: number of positive responses in this round • n_neg: number of negative responses in this round Latest adaptive probing datasets add additional fields: #fsdb -F t block round_no round_start_epoch a_short a_oper status belief n_pos n_neg probe_log rtt_us where • probe_log: uuencoded sequence of last octets of the block probed within this round • rtt_us: RTT to the last successful ping to this block within this round blocklist blocklist is a text format. FSDB for a15 and later.

It defines the probing order in which pings are scheduled. The blocklist includes more information than the iplist. See icmptrain for iplist format. site_rate To better diagnose site-wide problems we started to include site_rate files with our datasets. These files record hourly counts of pings sent and received. FSDB headers are: • sitebin_start_epoch - timestamp of the hour • n_pos_sum - count of positive replies • n_neg_sum - count of non-responses (or negative responses) • n_probe_sum - total count of probes (= n_pos_sum + n_neg_sum) • pos_probe_fraction - positive reply rate (= n_pos_sum / n_probe_sum) Collection Method Data collection involves pinging allocated and responsible address blocks.

February, 2012 http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PAPERS/Quan12a.html. Probing Location(s) The probing locations for outage surveys are indicated in their names. A "w" means west, which is from isi.edu in Marina del Rey, California; "c" means center, from colostate.edu, in Ft. Collins, Colorado; "e" means east which is from east.isi.edu, from Arlington, Virginia; "g" stands for Greece, hosted by AUEB, in Athens (datasets starting a17); "n" stands for Netherlands, hosted by surfnet.nl in Utrecht (datasets starting a28) See Dataset Contents for more information on the system who did the survey. Beginning/Ending Date and Time Zone Dates/Times specified in the metadata are in UTC.
