Internet Mapping Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Internet Mapping Project[1][2] was started by Bill Cheswick and Hal Burch at Bell Labs in 1997. It collected and preserved traceroute-style paths to some hundreds of thousands of networks almost daily for eight years. 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 Corp.
The technology is used by Lumeta Corp, 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.
