I understand there have been studies on traffic characteristics both
for local area and wide area networks. All of the studies that I have
come across so far, are done on the mixture of the traffic from all
sources. Many people have also studied the traffic by separately
analyzing the data for various protocols. 

What, however, I have not seen so far is the study of the characteristics 
of the TRAFFIC OFFERED BY INDIVIDUAL SOURCES. By an individual source, 
I mean a user, an application, a program etc.

I would highly appreciate any pointers, references in this direction.
