本文介绍了互联网地图集，一个新的可视化和分析门户网站的各种互联网测量数据。Atlas的起点是物理互联网的地理锚定表示，包括（i）节点（例如，托管设施和数据中心），（ii）连接这些节点的管道/链路，以及（iii）相关Meta数据（例如，来源出处）。这种物理表示是通过使用搜索来识别主要源数据（如地图和服务提供商网络信息的其他存储库）而构建的。然后，使用手动和自动流程的组合（包括一致性检查以及对节点和链接数据进行地理编码的方法）将这些数据小心地输入到数据库中。Atlas目前包含超过9.5K PoP位置和近13.5K链接，覆盖全球270多个网络。定制的接口被构建为导入各种动态（例如，BGP更新、Twitter馈送和天气更新）和静态（例如，将高速公路、铁路和人口普查）数据输入Atlas，并将其置于实物表示之上。开放的门户网站是以广泛使用的ArcGIS地理信息系统为基础的，可对数据进行可视化和多种空间分析。我们描述了门户实现的细节，以及正在进行的努力，以扩大其功能。
This paper describes Internet Atlas, a new visualization and analysis portal for diverse Internet measurement data. The starting point for Atlas is a geographically anchored representation of the physical Internet including (i) nodes (e.g., hosting facilities and data centers), (ii) conduits/links that connect these nodes, and (iii) relevant meta data (e.g., source provenance). This physical representation is built by using search to identify primary source data such as maps and other repositories of service provider network information. This data is then carefully entered into the database using a combination of manual and automated processes including consistency checks and methods for geocoding both node and link data. Atlas currently contains over 9.5K PoP locations and nearly 13.5K links for over 270 networks around the world. Customized interfaces were built to import a variety of dynamic (e.g., BGP updates, Twitter feeds and weather updates) and static (e.g., highway, rail and census) data into Atlas, and to layer it on top of the physical representation. The openly available web portal is based on the widely-used ArcGIS geographic information system, which enables visualization and diverse spatial analyses of the data. We describe the details of the portal implementation as well as on-going efforts to expand its capabilities.
