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
