| Back to CAIDA home page | Sources of data for testing/developing visualization tools |
| CAIDA will be housing a number of datasets from several sources for visualization tool developers and users to use for testing and comparison of tool capabilities and features. If you are a tool developer and you explore any of these datsets with your tool, we would like to hear about it, and link to samples of your results from this page. Please contact us at info @ caida.org with any submissions or suggestions. |
Data sets in need of visualization (many duplicated below) are listed on k claffy's Optimal visualization projects page.
CAIDA also collects and analyzes data collected via cflowd, the CoralReef project, and the skitter tool. Data collected may be filtered for privacy or have release restrictions due to CAIDA membership and use agreements, so access may be limited. Please contact info @ caida.org with requests.
The Internet Mapping Project is running a long-term project to collect routing data on the Internet. Each day a tree showing the paths discovered is generated. Daily updated versions of the database are available here.
