Path Dispersion

The paths taken by different traces show where the majority of a monitor's traffic travels.

AS Path Dispersion (by AS Hop)

AS connectivity near monitor

AS Path Dispersion (by IP Hop)

AS connectivity near monitor (with IP hop distances preserved)

IP Path Dispersion (by IP Hop)

IP connectivity near monitor

Path Length Distributions

Path length distributions show, on aggregate, how well-connected a monitor is to the rest of the Internet.

RTT Distribution

An RTT distribution shows the general latency between a monitor and the rest of the Internet.

CCDF of destination RTTs

percentile 10th 25th 50th 75th 90th

RTT (ms) 8.132 32.137 127.566 199.982 256.990
RTT quartiles vs hop distance


percentile	10th	25th	50th	75th	90th
RTT (ms)	8.132	32.137	127.566	199.982	256.990

RTTs vs. Distance

Comparing RTT with geographical distance helps show if latency is primarily due to distance or other factors.
