Dataset was something from CAIDA, like this: https://www.caida.org/catalog/datasets/ipv4_prefix_probing_dataset/ https://www.caida.org/catalog/datasets/ipv4_prefix_probing_d...
IIRC we used the LGL algorithm (https://lgl.sourceforge.net/ https://lgl.sourceforge.net/) while pinning any nodes we could get geolocations for, giving a nice hybrid geo/topo layout
I don't remember exactly how we got the geolocations, but often network routers have 3-letter airport codes in their DNS names, so maybe that? We may also have had a lookup table in el googz somewhere
Definitely a project whose time should again come! ;)
- jmmv 2y agoOh that’s right! We had to use LGL in addition to geolocation to lay out points without data. And yeah, the geolocation came from some internal service. Thanks for chiming in. Good times!
