- gvb 15y agoIndeed, and for a visualization, the XKCD map of the internet is the definitive reference: http://xkcd.com/195/ http://xkcd.com/195/. I've always wondered how GE got 3.0.0.0/8, ahead of BB&N (which got three /8 assignments! - 4, 8, 46), Army (6), Xerox (13), Bell Labs (12), IBM (9), DEC (16), DoD Intel (11), US DoD (214, 215), etc.
