The Network Traffic Measurement and Analysis Conference (TMA) aims to be a highly selective venue for presenting both mature and early-stage research and redressing work on all aspects of network measurement and analysis. TMA conference has a strong tradition of open and lively interaction among scientists and engineers in academia and industry. It is a premier forum to exchange ideas and present advances in the state-of-the-art measurements of Internet traffic on all layers and in measurement and analysis techniques.

TMA 2025 invites submissions presenting concepts, experiences, and, of course, results in the collection, processing, analysis, modeling, and visualization of network data to enable classification, anomaly detection, performance enhancement and evaluation, prediction, monitoring, management, security, privacy or other uses of network data. The focus is on improving network measurements across the entire network stack up to application layers, emphasizing diverse areas of network communication such as data centers, satellite networks, mobile networks, IoT devices, and devices connected to multiple networks. 

To promote transparency and mitigate publication bias, the conference aims to actively encourage submissions that present negative or results that run counter to or redress previous findings, especially those uncovered through novel measurement methods or unique vantage points. Regular papers are strongly encouraged to discuss their approaches’ limitations and highlight experiments that did not yield expected outcomes. In addition, TMA welcomes submissions dedicated exclusively to negative results, provided they offer valuable insights into the limitations or challenges of network measurement in practice. Such papers will be assessed based on the significance of their findings (e.g., results derived from realistic production networks) and the novelty of the vantage points (e.g., scarce data sources) or measurement techniques employed.

Topics of interest related to measurements and analysis, including but are not limited to:

  • Network topologies and performance
  • Internet deployment, security, stability, and resilience
  • Network Detection and Response (NDR) in IT or OT
  • Operational aspects of core Internet infrastructure including the DNS and BGP
  • Adoption and use of legacy and newer protocols (e.g. TCP, QUIC, IPv6, and HTTP/2)
  • Energy consumption of network infrastructure and data centers
  • Classification of network traffic, including encrypted channels and proprietary protocols
  • Application-layer measurements, including web services, social networks, and identity management systems
  • Using artificial intelligence and machine learning in network measurement and analysis
  • Techniques for privacy preservation and measurement data anonymization
  • Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for privacy and security in data measurement and analysis
  • Traffic analysis for detecting anomalies, vulnerabilities, and attacks
  • Assessing the economic and societal impact of outages and cyber attacks
  • Aspects and deployment of censorship and content-filtering mechanisms
  • Analysis of malicious and content and activities (e.g., phishing e-mails, fraudulent websites, misinformation)
  • Quality of service and quality of experience measurements (e.g., audio and video content, gaming, Xreality)
  • Visualization methods and novel representations of measurement data
  • Data centers and cloud-based systems and services
  • Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
  • Mobile and wireless communication, including multi-interfaced devices, D2D, and satellite
  • IoT devices’ deployments (e.g., home networks, industrial IoT); Security and Privacy aspects in IoT
  • Simulation, modeling, or emulation of networks for analysis and/or visualization
  • Testbeds, platforms, or prototyping for measurement, troubleshooting, and management of operational networks
  • Consolidation, centralization, and fragmentation effects on the Internet
  • Validation and reproducibility of measurements/studies, available datasets, and measurement and processing tools
  • Negative or redressing results revealed by novel measurement data or methodologies
