Hello World,

I am in the process of investigating such models as above, but I need
additional data to obtain more generalizable results.  I would like to
request http access log files of 10 MB in size and larger from the 
members of this list-group.

In return I will maintain confidentiality of the source of the log file and 
it's IP content, but publish the general results pertaining to:

        Poisson models of user arrivals
        A queuing model for web site bandwidth utilization
        Time series analysis (over the course of weeks).
        And more..

I greatly appreciate any participation in this project.  If you are
interested in supplying some http log files, please contact me, 
Matt X. Hunter, at xhunter@huntana.com.  And/or, ftp the 
(zipped, or compressed) log file to:

        ftp.huntana.com
        /incoming      (Note this directory is writable but not readable)

user: anonymous.
