Collaboration Aims to Create First Accurate Geometric Map of the Internet

Collaboration Aims to Create First Accurate Geometric Map of the Internet


ScienceDaily (Sep. 12, 2010) � 

" Researchers - at the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with researchers from Universitat de Barcelona in Spain and the University of Cyprus - have created the first geometric "atlas" of the Internet as part of a project to prevent our most ubiquitous form of communication from collapsing within the next decade or so.


They describe how they discovered a latent hyperbolic, or negatively curved, space hidden beneath the Internets topology, leading them to devise a method to create an Internet map using hyperbolic geometry. 


In their paper, the researchers say such a map would lead to a more robust Internet routing architecture because it simplifies path-finding throughout the network. "
