Re: A pic of a network with each players product listed at where it fits on the network. I know the topology pretty well to be dangerous <g>, but others might not. Hi Greg, What you seek is only available on a proprietary basis and isn't about to shared with the public. The Tier 1 players are very strict about this. What we do have are a few resources, that while not complete or investor-directed, are nontheless pretty kuhl to look at and learn from. Here's a few I've collected over the years: KMI Corporation: kmicorp.com [[Very good maps, available on line or hard copy for a fee]] visualware.com [[This is a good visual trace route tool]] An Atlas of Cyberspace: geog.ucl.ac.uk [[A plethora of maps of cyberspace]] The Internet Weather Report: mids.org [[At one time this was a terrific service, it is now under re-construction. Hopefully not a victim of the problems in techland.]] Matrix.Net resources: matrix.net [[Networkologist heaven? At least at the Pearly Gates. Fee based.]] The CAIDA Mapnet: caida.org [[Quote: Visualization of the Internet beyond the purview of a single provider has become challenging task that has received little attention from the research community. Commercial Internet service providers grow increasingly hesitant to voluntarily publish topology or peering information about their networks, and those that do so use no standard format, leading to the problem that any existing maps are fairly incomparable with each other. Comment: We are entering the era where the open and accessibly understood NSFNet is being replaced with a hodge-podge of very hush-hush private nets that will never be mapped except perhaps at the highest levels, (CIA, NSA, DoE, FBI) and the information will not flow to the general public.]] Internet Genome: 63.77.152.205 [[Currently under construction]] HTH, Ray :)
