 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.

 Thanks for any input!

In my experience Maxmind does at best a fairly ordinary job when it
comes to routers, especially if you're using the free version of the
database.
