Internet Mapping Project
Encyclopedia
The Internet Mapping Project
was started by Bill Cheswick and Hal Burch at Bell Labs
in 1997. It has collected and preserved traceroute-style paths to some hundreds of thousands of networks almost daily since 1998, and continues today. The project included visualization of the Internet data, and the Internet maps, which first appeared in Wired Magazine in December 1998 were widely disseminated, and are still available as posters from Lumeta.
The technology is used by Lumeta, a spinoff of Bell Labs
to map corporate and government networks.
Although Bill Cheswick left Lumeta in September 2006, Lumeta continues to map both the IPv4 and IPv6 Internet.
Cheswick continues to collect and preserve the data, and it is available for research purposes.
