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) 8.117 32.692 128.030 201.900 256.603
RTT quartiles vs hop distance


percentile	10th	25th	50th	75th	90th
RTT (ms)	8.117	32.692	128.030	201.900	256.603

RTTs vs. Distance

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