Weighting: Inverse Host Frequency (IHF)

•We notice that using hostnames alone may be problematic

–Especially when a host has multiple hostnames or is represented by an IP address with dissimilar distributions

–e.g. www.informatik.uni-trier.de, ftp.informatik.uni-trier.de and 136.199.54.185 are the same host

•Therefore, we also experimented with

–Domain (e.g. uni-trier.de)

–Resolving hostnames to IP addresses
