It provides users with a dynamic, high-resolution, and spatially-extended picture of fast changes in network traffic. This opens up the possibility for a new kind of network tomography, where cross correlation between measurement flows can be measured on a precise timescale and the internal state of the network can be reconstructed and its time behaviour studied. This data can then be analyzed with methods developed in scienfic publications (papers, etc) produced by researchers working on ETOMIC.

The ETOMIC measurement infrastructure has been developed principally by OneLab lead partners ELTE, with UAM providing the expertise for additional advanced monitoring equipment, and is now hosted at over 20 different sites accross Europe. ETOMIC hosts 18 first generation nodes (based on DAG technolgy) and 20 second generation nodes (consisting in the ARGOS measurement card, and APE and COMO measurement boxes).
