S-Net is a software system designed for analyzing large databases of Internet packet headers. S-Net runs on Unix, and analysis is carried out using the S language for visualization and data analysis. There are three goals in its design - to allow, despite the large size of databases, comprehensive analysis - detailed analysis down to the level of individual observations, together with analysis by summaries of behavior that aggregate many observations; to provide an extensible environment so that analysts can readily tailor methods to the specific objectives of their analyses; and to provide an implementation based on public domain software, making S-Net readily accessible to network researchers.
