Abstract
Inferring the Internet PoP level maps is gaining interest due to its importance to many areas, e.g., for tracking the Internet evolution and studying its properties. We introduce DIMES’s Internet PoP-level connectivity maps, annotated with geographical information and created using a structural approach to automatically generate large scale PoP level maps. The generated PoP level maps dataset is presented and a detailed analysis of a map is provided. PoP level maps have a wide range of applications, introduced in this work. We survey some of these applications and propose further opportunities for future research.
This work was partially funded by the Israeli Science Foundation’s center of knowledge grant 1685/07.
