The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA, 
/ˈkeɪdə/) is a collaborative undertaking among organizations in the commercial, government, and research sectors aimed at promoting greater cooperation in the engineering and maintenance of a robust, scalable global Internet infrastructure. CAIDA provides a neutral framework to support cooperative technical endeavors. It is based at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego.
CAIDA's goals are:
- To encourage the creation of Internet traffic metrics, in collaboration with IETF/IPPM and other organizations, and work with industry, consumer, regulatory, and other representatives to assure their utility and universal acceptance.
- To create a collaborative research and analytic environment in which various forms of traffic data can be acquired, analyzed, and, as appropriate, shared.
- Foster the development of advanced methodologies and techniques for: traffic performance and flow characterization, simulation, analysis, and visualization. Specific areas of future impact include real-time routing instability diagnosis and evolution for next generation measurement and routing protocols (multicast and unicast).
