AB - In this paper we present the most signifcant results studying the Internet network traffic measurements
obtained in Ciez@net. Ciez@net is a citizen subnet located in the village of Cieza that belongs to the
regional network of the Autonomous Community of Murcia in Spain. This subnet is one of the firsts pilot
experiences of a Digital City in Europe and the first in the Region of Murcia. The goal is the seamless
introduction of the Information Society in a medium-size population. Access to advanced electronic
information services is stimulated or subsidized for an effective penetration. These measurements will
allow a qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the network trafJic in order to achieve a most effective
network resource provisioning and Internet trafic forecasting in a real scenario. A suitable dimensioning
of the network as well as an adequate provisioning of Quality of Service to users may depend partially on
these results. Measurements were taken from a Frame Relay link connecting Ciez@net’s users to Internet
through the main node located in Murcia city. We used a promiscuous network analyzer that avoids
intelfering in the network trafic. We report results of traffic load, network pelformance, percentage
composition of trafJic by protocol and type of application, and IP packet size distribution in both, up and
down communications streams.
