For a university computer network. The word repeats often and would like to know if there is a common technical term, such as "traces", for this concept.

footprint

Podle mě 'trace' se používá, když jde o zpětné sledování kudy (a jak) se něco pohybovalo zatímco 'footprint' spíše když jde o zhodnocení výsledných dopadů, ale do značné míry by se asi dalo mluvit o synonymech...
