I had been honored to present some of my "micro-research" data at IETF74 P2P reserach group (P2PRG) meeting.
Detailed transcript of my presentation to follow soon - need some free time to make it right.
Following popular demand, here are links for data I collected for my research - feel free to re-use ( just let me know where and how you find it useful)
