10 Years Of Internet
Lumeta's arresting visual images represent the explosive growth of the online world. Between 1998 and 2003, the number of nodes on the Internet doubled. By 2008 nodes had increased five times.
2008 is the tenth anniversary of a project to map the Internet. Undertaken by Lumeta, the effort was undertaken as a long-range research project to study the growth of the online world.
The mapping project isn't attempting to map every computer that connects to the Internet. Rather, the project gathers routing data to all backbone routers hosted by ISPs. The company didn't scan all the way down to individual hosts on purpose. "That would just be like a big huge blob," says Michael Markulec, Chief Operating Officer of Lumeta. Thus, each node represented on a map may be connected to a handful of computers, or may have a large corporate network behind it.
