Hi Anselm It has been a while since I did this but three are several good sources for router data. Typically we used CAIDA data (http://www.caida.org/data/overview/) specifically the router adjacency data from skitter. CAIDA used to have an geo-ip tool but they licensed off the IP. Could try using something like HostIP (http://www.hostip.info/dl/index.html) or MaxMind (http://www.maxmind.com/). Alternatively see if you could access to a proprietary source like Quova.
The nice thing with the router graph is you can show connectivity as well. On the academic side Martin Dodge did a lot of this at CASA back in the day. He might know if anyone has done this already - now at Univ of Manchester. Also Matt Zook at Univ of Kentucky has done lots of geo-ip work although more around domain names than routers. Steve Coast also did some super cool fractal visualizations of geo-ip space back in the day with Martin at UCL. Hope some that is helpful. best, sean FortiusOne Inc, 2200 Wilson Blvd. suite 307 Arlington, VA 22201 cell - 202-321-3914 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anselm Hook" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: "Sheldon Renan" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 3, 2010 1:14:02 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Geowanking] model of the internet - need data Hi folks, I'm looking for a map of the Internet. A friend wants to project this onto a spinny globe. I've found several pictoral representations but I'm looking a raw data-set that geographically locates major routers and servers. In an ideal world I'd get a database that indicates { ip address, amount of traffic, longitude, latitude, connected to other ip addresses } and then I could draw my own picture. Databases I have seen do not include longitude and latitude which I something I would need. Any leads? I suppose even just given IP addresses I could guess longitude and latitude location... which wouldn't be ideal but perhaps would be acceptable. Here's what I've seen so far, http://www.opte.org/ -> I'll try reach out to these folks since they seem to have the best data and are nearby. http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/18944/?a=f http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/InternetMap/ Thanks for any input! - @anselm @wherecamp _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
