CAIDA's Internet Atlas project began in 1999. Originally scoped as a three-year
effort, it has now been extended into its fourth year. This effort involves
developing techniques, software, and protocols for mapping the Internet, focusing on Internet topology, performance, workload, and routing data. It also includes assessment of state-of-the-art in this nascent sector.
Project efforts include compilation of examples of Internet mapping efforts. Examples will be discussed and evaluated with a goal of determining the strengths and weaknesses of particular visualization techniques.
