This book was prepared as the Final Publication of COST Action IC0703 "Data Traffic Monitoring and Analysis: theory, techniques, tools and applications for the future networks". It contains 14 chapters which demonstrate the results, quality,and the impact of European research in the field of TMA in line with the scientific objective of the Action. The book is structured into three parts: network and topology measurement and modelling, traffic classification and anomaly detection, quality of experience.
