The Covid-19 pandemic has radically changed our lives. Under different circumstances, people react to it in various ways. One way is to work-from-home since lockdown has been announced in many regions around the world. For some places, however, we don't know if people really work from home due to the lack of information. Since there are lots of uncertainties, it would be helpful for us to understand what really happen in these places if we can detect the reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic. Working from home indicates that people have changed the way they interact with the Internet. People used to access the Internet in the company or at school during the day. Now it is more likely that they access the Internet at home in the daytime. Therefore, the network usage changes in one place can be used to indicate if people in this place actually work from home. In this work, we reuse and analyze Trinocular outages data (around 5.1M responsive /24 blocks) over 6 months to find network usage changes by a new designed algorithm. We apply the algorithm to sets of /24 blocks in several cities and compare the detected network usage changes with real world covid-19 events to verify if the algorithm can capture the changes reacting to the Covid-19 pandemic. By applying the algorithm to all measurable /24 blocks to detect network usages changes, we conclude that network usage can be an indicator of the reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic.

在Covid-19期间测量互联网以评估在家工作

Covid-19大流行彻底改变了我们的生活。在不同的情况下,人们会以各种方式对此做出反应。一种方法是在家中工作,因为全球许多地区都宣布了锁定措施。但是,在某些地方,由于缺乏信息,我们不知道人们是否真的在家工作。由于存在许多不确定因素,因此,如果我们能够检测到对Covid-19大流行的反应,那么有助于我们了解这些地方的实际情况。在家工作表明人们已经改变了与Internet交互的方式。人们通常白天在公司或学校访问Internet。现在,他们更有可能在白天在家中访问Internet。所以,一个地方的网络使用情况变化可以用来指示该地方的人是否实际上在家工作。在这项工作中,我们在6个月内重用和分析了Trinocular中断数据(约5.1M响应/ 24块),以通过新设计的算法发现网络使用变化。我们将该算法应用于多个城市的/ 24个街区,并将检测到的网络使用情况变化与现实世界中的covid-19事件进行比较,以验证该算法是否可以捕获对Covid-19大流行做出的反应。通过将算法应用于所有可测量的/ 24块以检测网络使用情况变化,我们得出结论,网络使用情况可以指示对Covid-19大流行的反应。1百万个响应式/ 24块)在6个月内通过新设计的算法查找网络使用情况变化。我们将该算法应用于多个城市的/ 24个街区,并将检测到的网络使用情况变化与现实世界中的covid-19事件进行比较,以验证该算法是否可以捕获对Covid-19大流行做出的反应。通过将算法应用于所有可测量的/ 24块以检测网络使用情况变化,我们得出结论,网络使用情况可以指示对Covid-19大流行的反应。1百万个响应式/ 24块)在6个月内通过新设计的算法查找网络使用情况变化。我们将该算法应用于多个城市的/ 24个街区,并将检测到的网络使用情况变化与现实世界中的covid-19事件进行比较,以验证该算法是否可以捕获对Covid-19大流行做出的反应。通过将算法应用于所有可测量的/ 24块以检测网络使用情况变化,我们得出结论,网络使用情况可以指示对Covid-19大流行的反应。
