Use when designing or auditing ACM IMC measurements, covering representative vantage points, honest ground truth, longitudinal design for a moving Internet, safe and ethical active measurement, coverage-bias quantification, provenance pinning, and matching the measurement to the shape of each claim about the real Internet.

# IMC Measurements

Use this before submission when the measurement design is not yet locked. IMC reviewers are
measurement empiricists; the study is where a good question is won or lost. The organizing
principle is **evidence proportional to a claim about the real Internet** — the measurement must
observe the thing the paper asserts, from vantage points and over a period a skeptic would accept,
and it must be collected safely and ethically.

## Design audit

- **Match the measurement to the claim shape.** A claim about *reachability in the wild* needs many
  real vantage points; a claim about *deployment* needs coverage of the population; a claim about
  *behavior over time* needs a dated longitudinal window; a claim about *security* needs validated
  ground truth. A snapshot from two hosts cannot support a wild-Internet claim.
