First Internet Census Since 1982

62 Days + Almost 3 Billion Pings + New Visualization Scheme = the First Internet Census Since 1982: “Researchers at the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute, one of the birthplaces of the Internet decades ago, have just completed and plotted a comprehensive census of all of the more 2.8 billion allocated addresses on the Internet — the first complete effort of its kind in more than two decades, they say.”

  • “Starting in 2003, researchers at ISI ANT Lab (the ANT Lab is a research group spanning USC/ISI, the USC and Colorado State University Computer Science Departments, the USC Electrical Engineering department, and USC’s Information Technology Services)have been collecting data about the Internet address space. As part of this work [they] have been probing all addresses in the allocated Internet address space. This web page summarizes this research, the datasets, and related papers.”
