An animated slideshow presentation of the history of IPv4, using a Sankey diagram to visualize the flow of IPv4 address allocations since inception in 1977, through various address management organizations and policies.

This visualization represents macroscopic snapshots of IPv4 Internet topology samples captured in January to February 2017. For the IPv4 map, CAIDA collected data from 121 monitors located in 42 countries on 6 continents.

Over the past several months, CAIDA, in collaboration with Matthew Luckie at the University of Waikato, has upgraded Rob Beverly's original spoofing measurement system, developing new client tools for measuring IPv4 and IPv6 spoofing capabilities, along with services that provide reporting and allow users to opt-in or out of sharing the data publicly. Watch the video "What is IP Spoofing?" for an overview of what IP spoofing is and how you can install Spoofer and help.

"Net Neutrality has become a bit of a political football. We don't have even close to enough data to truly litigate the net neutrality debate in an equitable way. We don't know enough. You need measurement." In this series of short clips, KC Claffy, founder and director of the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at SDSC, brings us up to speed on some of the key issues surrounding the Net Neutrality debate. Watch the video "The Net Neutrality Debate", part of a series on Net Neutrality and Why We Need to Measure the Internet.

We are now deploying small, inexpensive network measurement nodes, based on the Raspberry Pi, in the Ark measurement infrastructure. Although tiny, a Raspberry Pi is as capable as a desktop system of several generations ago and offers a flexible Linux-powered programmable platform for conducting networking research. These systems can be placed anywhere that is convenient for a hosting site, including on someone's desk, and the transition from deploying traditional rack-mounted servers to Raspberry Pi's will allow us to scale up the Ark infrastructure.

In addition to understanding the routing policies between networks (autonomous systems), understanding where those networks interconnect is relevant to both technical and economic aspects of the Internet's inter-domain structure and stability. We offer an annotated version of our AS relationships data set that estimates the geographic location of links between pairs of networks.

To visualize large-scale Internet events, such as a large region losing connectivity, or a stealth probe of the entire IPv4 address space, we coordinated views to study the temporal evolution of an event along different dimensions, including geographic spread, topological (address space) coverage, and traffic impact. In early 2011, there was a government-mandated Internet blackout in Egypt, which isolated the country from the rest of the Internet for more than five days. The view pictured combines a geographical representation of Egypt region along with animations of the source addresses observed during the event, both at a global level, and from the 41.0.0.0/8 network delegated to AfriNIC.

We analyzed the reputation of a country's Internet (IPv4) addresses by examining the number of blacklisted IPv4 addresses that geolocate to a given country. We compared this indicator with two qualitative measures of each country's governance. We found a correlation exists between perceived corruption and fraction of blacklisted IP addresses.
