Building a Continuously Updated Model of the Internet
by
Jeremy Lingmann
There are many open questions on the evolving structure of the
Internet. How rapidly is the total capacity of the Internet increasing
over time? Where are the bottlenecks? What is the rate of change?
This research project is the first step towards answering these
questions and others by building a richly annotated model of the
Internet, complete with link attributes (delay, loss, capacity,
congestion), router attributes (alias resolution, geographic location,
failure rate), and operational policy (intradomain and interdomain
routing policy.) The key issue addressed in this phase of the project
has been how to collect this data efficiently without sacrificing
completeness. I will discuss how we have used a creative combination of
best known techniques and prior research work to accomplish this goal.
