There is some recent work related to some of the tasks:
Hi John,
Much of this work is covering not traffic analysis (though we'll likely do more of that as well), but focusing on simulations of real software and what each component does when thrown into a test network. Paul Hoffman has designed a testbed where various packages (bind, unbound, etc) can be watched carefully in a simulated environment. That should hopefully get us some ground truth, which we may then in turn be able to look to real world traffic and do some comparisons against it.
Thanks for sending the papers, though, as it was on my todo list to send many of those to the group as well!
