There was also some interesting work done on the geographic location of Internet resources done at Boston University: http://www.cs.bu.edu/techreports/pdf/2002-015-internet-geography.pdf Any chance the Rocketfuel project had a chance to map out UUNET/Worldcom since the first run? ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> Date: Friday, November 29, 2002 8:39 pm Subject: 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and found that the marketing maps can differ significantly from the real ones quite a bit because of lack-of-detail, outdated- ness, or optimistic-projections.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.
