Projects
Projects
Selected tools, visualizations, and research threads around Internet measurement, topology, performance, and infrastructure.
Tools and resources
revTr Health Monitor
Live reverse-traceroute health across M-Lab physical sites.
M-Lab Global Comparison
Built from M-Lab's public NDT speed tests and traceroute data, this dashboard compares Internet performance to Google Cloud virtual servers and physical M-Lab measurement servers worldwide, with latency and traceroute-path views refreshed monthly.
Starlink Speedtest Comparison
Cloudflare and M-Lab speed-test comparisons by geography, destination, and ISP.
Hypergiants Evolution
Interactive views of CDN, IXP, facility, city, country, and continent-level hypergiant infrastructure growth.
Internet Visualization Exhibition
A venue for Internet structure, behavior, and evolution visualizations, co-organized with Paul Barford.
Research threads
AS-level topology inference
metAScritic treats hidden interconnection discovery as a recommendation problem: measure a small set of strategic links, infer the rest.
Open Internet health monitoring
HERMES repurposes user-driven speed tests to detect performance degradations and localize where problems likely begin.
Manifold views of private backbones
Lightweight latency measurements and Riemannian geometry expose hidden structure in hyperscaler connectivity.
APNIC user-population estimates
Cross-validating APNIC per-AS estimates against independent baselines to understand where the dataset is reliable.
Routing, borders, and state control
BGP and routing-data studies of how political geography, conflict, and state policy shape Internet infrastructure.
