Chris Harrison - Internet Map: City-to-City Connections

by 1 other
The Dimes Project provides several excellent data sets that describe the structure of the Internet. Using their most recent city edges data (Feb 2007), I created a set of visualizations that display how cities across the globe are interconnected (by router configuration and not physical backbone). In total, there are 89,344 connections. The first rendering displays the relative densities of Internet connectivity across the globe. The stronger the contrast, the more connectivity there is. It is immediately obvious, for example, that North America and Europe are considerably more connected than Africa or South America. However, it is important to note that this only reflect density of connections, and not usage. Hundreds of people may utilize a single connection in an internet cafe, often the only form of connectivity people have access to in developing nations. Additionally, three graphs showing network connections were created. I should note this is not the first time graphs like this have been created - I've seen dozens of variations, most being practical in nature (e.g. cable locations, bandwidth). I decided to pursue an aesthetic approach - one more visually intriguing and interesting to explore than useful. The intensity of edge contrast reflects the number of connections between the two points. No country borders or geographic features are shown. However, it should be fairly easy to orient yourself. Note: No projection has been applied to the geographical data. Latitudes and Longitudes were rounded to the nearest whole number and used in a flat coordinate system. This means that the planetary surface area represented by each point varies, skewing how the data (and densities - both point and edge) is shown!

Eine Sache des Vertrauens

"Who can you trust?" Wem kann man vertrauen? Unter diesem Motto sind Ende Dezember in Berlin Hacker und Datenschützer zum 23. Chaos Communication Congress zusammengekommen. Die Themenpalette der Veranstaltung ist zwar um einiges breiter, doch die Vertrauensfrage im Internet dürfte gerade für den durchschnittlichen User das wichtigste Problem sein.

Netsukuku

Netsukuku is a mesh network or a P2P net system that generates and sustains itself autonomously. It is designed to handle an unlimited number of nodes with minimal CPU and memory resources. Thanks to this feature it can be easily used to build a worldwide distributed, anonymous and anarchical network, separated from the Internet, without the support of any servers, ISPs or authority controls. Keep in mind that it is a _physical network_, it isn't built upon any other existing net, therefore there must be computers linked _physically_ each other, then Netsukuku will build the routes.
