Abstract
In our quest to better understand network tra#c dynamics, we examine Internet chat systems. Although chat as an application does not contribute huge amounts of tra#c, chat systems are known to be habit-forming. This implies that catering to such users can be a promising way of attracting them, especially in low bandwidth environments such as wireless networks.
