It is often assumed that the failure and repair rates of components are exponentially distributed. This hypothesis is testable for failure rates, though the process of gathering the necessary data and reducing it to a usable form can be difficult. While no amount of testing can prove that a sample is drawn from an exponential distribution, the hypothesis that a population distribution is exponential can in many cases be rejected with confidence. For this study, data were collected from as many hosts as was feasible using only data that could be obtained via the Internet with no special privileges or added monitoring facilities. The Internet was used to poll over 100; 000 hosts to determine the length of time that each had been up, and again...
