the pdf file along w your zillion dollar purchase order. :) )

as well as offer mutually valuable insights to other attendees;

  From: k claffy <kc at caida.org>
  Subject: recent Internet topology, passive, and telescope data sets available
  To: caida at caida.org

  some of these have been up for a while, others new,
  but we're starting to catalog them all in a more usable
  way thanks to project funding from the National Science
  Foundation (your US tax dollars at work)

  http://www.caida.org/projects/trends/data/

  so far includes comprehensive topology data sets,
  including AS and router adjacency matrices,
  passive traces (under various levels of AUP),
  network telescope data, and some other data sets 
  provided in conjunction with valiant collaborating 
  organizations.

  there are also links to pages that give more detail 
  about the project. please contact me if you're interested 
  in contributing data sets; we plan to have a prototype 
  of the community data catalog by the end of this summer.
