Re: Risk of Internet collapse grows

last year we *measured* isp maps as part of a research project called rocketfuel and found that the marketing maps can differ significantly from the real ones quite a bit because of lack-of-detail, outdated-ness, or optimistic-projections. a paper describing the methodology and the maps themselves can be found off: http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/networking/rocketfuel/

and, aside from reversing the meaning of a comment you attribute to me, i heartily recommend this paper. randy
